The Snake and the Crown |
| Today I got to thinking the world’s in a strange way |
| Feels like I’m at a 7/11 when a robbery takes place |
| Do I hide behind the counter with my hands covering my face? |
| Or, or do I dive for the gunman before he makes his break? |
| Does a .45 go off and the bullets ricochet? |
| This is not some random nightmare |
| See for me, well, this is everyday |
| Though I’ve been waiting for this train to come 'round |
| I’ve been waiting for the deal to go down |
| I’ve been looking for the things not found |
| So far, so far away, I’m just doing my best today |
| With all the cigarettes and alcohol and a few minutes to pray |
| But it don’t do what it used to so, we’ll have hell to pay |
| A penny for your thoughts, a penny for my cliches |
| Oh, I tried to get some distance, I tried to escape |
| But this nightmare’s so persistent in a Shakespeare kind of way |
| Be not afraid, oh, fuck that be very afraid |
| Though I’ve been waiting for this train to come 'round |
| I’ve been waiting for the deal to go down |
| I’ve been looking for the things not found, so far, so far away |
| Well, I’m just doing my best today |
| Who sold you out? |
| We did, we did |
| And who let you down? |
| We did, we did |
| Who put on this crown? |
| We did, we did |
| We did, we did, we did |
| Who sold you out? |
| We did, we did |
| And who let you down? |
| We did, we did |
| Who put on this crown? |
| We did, we did |
| We did, we did |
| We did, we did |
| Who sold you out? |
| We did, we did |
| And who let you down? |
| We did, we did |
| Who put on this crown? |
| We did, we did |
| We did, we did |
| We did, we did |
| Oh yes, we did, we did |
| Oh yes, we did, we did |
