|
An address to the golden door |
|
I was strumming on a stone again |
|
Pulling teeth from the pimps of gore when hatched |
|
A tragic opera in my mind... |
|
And it told of a new design |
|
In which every soul is duty bound |
|
To uphold all the statues of boredom therein lies |
|
The fatal flaw of the red age |
|
Because it was nothing like we'd ever dremt |
|
Our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated |
|
And because it made no money nobody saved no one's life. |
|
So we burned all our uniforms |
|
And let nature take its course again |
|
And the big ones just eat all the little ones |
|
That sent us back to the drawing board. |
|
In our darkest hours |
|
We have all asked for some |
|
Angel to come |
|
Sprinkle his dust all around |
|
But all our crying voices they can't turn it around |
|
And you've had some crazy conversations of your own. |
|
We've got rules and maps and guns in our backs |
|
But we still can't just behave ourselves |
|
Even if to save our own lives so, says I, WE ARE A BRUTAL KIND. |
|
Cuz this is nothing like we'd ever dremt |
|
Tell Sir Thomas More we've got another failed attempt |
|
Cuz if it makes them money they might just give you life this time. |
