Requiem |
| Well, the world’s getting heavy and it sticks to my feet |
| Well practiced in losing and brave in defeat |
| With no friends in this business you, keep your enemies sweet |
| And keep one in the chamber for every stranger you meet |
| Well, I’ll take pieces of silver for a head full of rhyme |
| I’ll take a headache and a casket for a life full of time |
| I’ll take a patch of New Mexico and I’ll call it mine |
| And I’ll swear never to return to the scene of the crime |
| Well, the mob’s getting angry and the torches alight |
| 'Cause they’re putting up taxes by a penny tonight |
| And you can never taste freedom, boys, if you run from a fight |
| And when the heavens are falling, take a step to the right |
| So we smoke ourselves skinny and we drink ourselves blind |
| Self-discovery knocks but there is nothing to find |
| And if you’re looking for victims, would you keep me in mind |
| Let us be kissed on the cheek, let us be fucked from behind |
| There’s no need to tread carefully there’s no need to fear |
| Just talk in obscure non-specifics and try and look all sincere |
| Every administration blames the one from last year |
| So when consequence calls there’ll be nobody here |
| So we sell out our kids for a tank full of gas |
| And a lifetime in plastics for a fistful of cash |
| Let the rivers run dry let the economy crash |
| And let the discotheques resound to the requiem mass |
| So we sell out our kids for a tank full of gas |
| And a lifetime in plastics for a fistful of cash |
| Let the rivers run dry, let the economy crash |
| And let the discotheques resound to the requiem mass |
