Death in the afternoon | |
Oh no, it seems to me to be so inhuman | |
Death in the afternoon | |
I guess we all should have seen it coming. | |
Everybody's always saying things are changing | |
(And not a minute too soon) | |
I've been looking Å'round but only see the same thing. | |
Another death in the afternoon. | |
Death in the afternoon | |
Oh no, there's murder in the hearts of many | |
And blood on the hands of few, | |
Oh no, and the pity is, there isn't any. | |
In a carnival that never, ever closes | |
There's no shortage of faceless victims | |
Sure it's a freak show but, honey, ain't that showbiz. | |
Convince yourself you're so different. | |
You are. | |
Human suffering makes good entertainment | |
If you can package it all up neatly | |
Let all the media boys make the arrangements | |
The truth gets covered completely. | |
Death in the afternoon | |
And it's coast-to-coast on all the networks | |
And into your living room- | |
The ancient Romans took out all the guesswork. |
Death in the afternoon | |
Oh no, it seems to me to be so inhuman | |
Death in the afternoon | |
I guess we all should have seen it coming. | |
Everybody' s always saying things are changing | |
And not a minute too soon | |
I' ve been looking ' round but only see the same thing. | |
Another death in the afternoon. | |
Death in the afternoon | |
Oh no, there' s murder in the hearts of many | |
And blood on the hands of few, | |
Oh no, and the pity is, there isn' t any. | |
In a carnival that never, ever closes | |
There' s no shortage of faceless victims | |
Sure it' s a freak show but, honey, ain' t that showbiz. | |
Convince yourself you' re so different. | |
You are. | |
Human suffering makes good entertainment | |
If you can package it all up neatly | |
Let all the media boys make the arrangements | |
The truth gets covered completely. | |
Death in the afternoon | |
And it' s coasttocoast on all the networks | |
And into your living room | |
The ancient Romans took out all the guesswork. |
Death in the afternoon | |
Oh no, it seems to me to be so inhuman | |
Death in the afternoon | |
