|
Dedicate a life to the dying breed |
|
Throw a punch into the face of vacant leaders and leave |
|
Chloroform the singer who has nothing to say |
|
Stare in wonder as the masses sing along anyway |
|
Pull apart the actors pretending to grieve |
|
They never went to the funeral, and they never believed. |
|
Shack your burning placard in the government lawns |
|
Have faith that there is consequence in protest songs |
|
Bulldoze the pedestrian blues and the baize |
|
And those only right to get blown and get paid |
|
Songs about roses and poisonous lies |
|
Every last rose says your not even trying. |
|
When nobody asks you and nobody cares |
|
If we never here another song about roses again. |
|
We don't need songs about roses |
|
We don't need your terrible blues |
|
We don't need songs about roses |
|
Please sing me something new. |
|
We don't need songs about roses |
|
We don't need your terrible blues |
|
We don't need songs about roses |
|
All that we ask for is truth. |
