The Joke |
| This isn’t a dream, don’t know why you don’t care |
| You see your face in a photograph, you say you weren’t there |
| You say, «I wasn’t there, you see, I wasn’t there!» |
| This is the storm and this is the warning |
| And this is the war and this is it forming |
| Still feels like no one cares, still feels like no one cares |
| Anything you wanna keep |
| Otherwise, go back to sleep |
| There’s some things we don’t wanna see |
| While the world burns, we warm our feet |
| Old men in bed by ten, the joke’s on me |
| Nothing left now but a memory |
| Shot by the pig with the badge and the gun |
| Killed by an elephant and not just the one |
| Maybe we should burn it down, we should burn you down |
| Poor little farmer, see who lit in a fire |
| Mister commissioner, why don’t you retire? |
| We’re gonna burn it down, we’re gonna burn it all down |
| Anything you wanna keep |
| Otherwise, go back to sleep |
| There’s some things we don’t wanna see |
| While the world burns, we warm our feet |
| Old men in bed by ten, the joke’s on me |
| There’s some things we don’t wanna see |
| While the world burns, we warm our feet |
| Old men in bed by ten, the joke’s on me |
| Nothing but a memory |
