|
There are babies with guns beheading their friends |
|
In shopping malls around the world |
|
Yet somehow the |
|
Kings of Leon still find time to write songs about girls |
|
I don't suck much less at least those dudes |
|
Have no illusions of angst and hopelessness |
|
And if I claim revolutionary or |
|
I give to charity |
|
They'll all know it's a plea for someone like me |
|
Disgusted with lies and cut down by their own beatnik poetry |
|
I'm just one man with no face and no friends |
|
God, in this dank |
|
Brooklyn bar |
|
I can feel it again, it's eating me |
|
Wait a second, |
|
I can't sing the same damn song over and over again |
|
I can't define myself through irony and self-deprecation |
|
I can't deny myself being alive through my alienation |
|
Everything that you do keeps me running back to you |
|
Can't give up, live the dream even if |
|
I don't believe |
|
We can't afford to surrender, we can't afford |
|
Fake players and the twisted web they weave |
|
I contend that the coming holocaust will be of those who choose to believe |
|
Anything but a phallic sense of self |
|
Hang alone in the attic tied up tightly with your father's belt |
|
You bathe in blood like |
|
Mr. Crowley |
|
Your cost, their loss, their memory haunts me |
|
I stand opposed to chaos that you chose |
|
New heart, new bones, am |
|
I not alone? |
|
Fake players are the ones who play the game(You're the flame, you're the flame, come on) |
|
Fake players are the ones who play the game(Fake players, fake players) |
|
Fake players are the ones who play the game(You're the flame, you're the flame, come on) |
|
Fake players are the ones who play the game(Fake players) |
