|
Times past, you'd waive your standards. |
|
Wave a lantern, tow the line. |
|
I'm stretched wide in holy sandals. |
|
Mine's yours and yours is mine. |
|
They'd take the freezer, break your bed, throw you a bag with a hole for your head |
|
Did it feel any better out there in the shed? |
|
Recalling messiahs that wound up dead. |
|
They're taking my friend, |
|
the king of the hill with a dog at the gates and a licence to kill smile for the camera, |
|
down this pill you're twice as impressive when you stand still |
|
They're marching in rags beriddled with fleas |
|
That will feed on you, yes |
|
While you still bleed |
|
You just gonna lie there? |
|
Now get on that steed |
|
In the end they'll respect you. See? |
|
The judge will make signs the jury will nod |
|
"It's the right of the free man to keep what he's got |
|
You can't it with you, it's sad, but amen - |
|
If you can't take it with you, take some of them." |
|
You can stop counting... |
|
Number one |
|
You can stop counting... |
|
Leave the crumbs |
|
You can stop... |
|
There's cans on the shelf. |
|
Remember the future takes care of itself. |
