|
You take back the curse, but the world just gets worse |
|
As you wonder about how someone could become |
|
So fat and so proud off the damage they've done. |
|
Man, the damage was fun. |
|
A house is a home. |
|
Hotels made of skin and bone hold us. |
|
Father figures continue to scold us. |
|
Avuncular-at-best in a church of new things. |
|
He traded the records for rings |
|
As I sat back and watched what |
|
I thought would ensue |
|
Not ensue. |
|
Hospitals overflow |
|
With singers, embittered and pissed. |
|
Dead-ringers for men whose whereabouts should not be known |
|
Or be missed. |
|
No failed revolts, |
|
No plot from the inside |
|
Could contend with the prospect or trend towards being discovered before our time. |
|
With upwards of thirty songs |
|
All about women and children |
|
Whose lives will come second to mine. |
|
You take back the curse, but the girl just gets |
|
Every rip-off artist to paint a picture of a world at war |
|
When the world was not at war. |
|
When the world was not at war. |
|
When the world was not at war. |
|
Oh, when the world was not at war |
