Mariana Trench |
Well, they’d better save some space for me |
In that growing cottage industry |
Where selfishness is currency |
People spend more than they make |
So I wrapped my head in bandages |
From the string of happy accidents |
I guess maybe I asked for it |
But who am I to say? |
The closing bell death tolls |
Hear the market crash |
A crying trader swears he’ll get out of the game |
The cowboy drinks himself to death |
Fresh out of rehab |
While they’re loading all the rifles on the range |
Look up at that Everest |
Look down in that Mariana Trench |
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls down |
When the big one hits |
Look out for the plainclothes |
Look out for what the wiretap knows |
Look out on the ever-widening money trail and where it goes |
It takes a lot of gall |
To try to please |
These dehumanizing entities |
I befriended all my enemies |
They had my back against the wall |
Oh, a coward is |
What a coward does |
I suppose maybe I always was |
But I’m sick of it |
I’ve had enough |
And now I’m ready for the war |
The lion bows his head down to the ringmaster |
With the tightrope stretched so high |
Above the crowd |
All these faces are contortionists |
It must have hurt |
Because they all looked as unhappy |
As a clown |
Look long at that Stonehenge |
Look quick, is it something you missed? |
Look in to that smoldering building’s bombed-out fog |
Until it finally lifts |
Look up at that big wave |
Look down at your other brother’s grave |
Look hard for a harder something to sacrifice |
That’s what it takes |
That’s what it takes |
That’s what it takes |
Mmm |
That’s what it takes, ah |
That’s what it takes, ah |
Ah, ah, ah |
Look up at that Everest |
Look down in that Mariana Trench |
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls down |
Oh, when the big one hits |
Look out for the plainclothes |
Speak soft what the wiretap knows |
Look out on that ever-widening money trail and where it goes |
Where does it go? |
