So Says I |
An address to the golden door |
I was strumming on a stone again |
Pulling teeth from the pimps of gore |
When hatched a tragic opera in my mind |
And it told of a new design |
In which every soul is duty bound |
To uphold all the statutes of boredom, therein lies |
The fatal flaw of the red age |
Because it was nothing like we’d ever dreamt |
Our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated |
Because it made no money |
Nobody saved no one’s life this time |
So we burned all our uniforms |
And let nature take its course again |
And the big ones just eat all the little ones |
Sent us back to the drawing board |
In our darkest hours |
We have all asked for some |
Angel to come |
Sprinkle his dust all around |
But all our crying voices, they can’t turn it around |
You’ve had some crazy conversations of your own |
We got rules and maps |
And guns in our backs |
But we still can’t just behave ourselves |
Even if to save our own lives |
So says I — We are a brutal kind, woah |
'Cause this is nothing like we’d ever dreamt |
Tell Sir Thomas More we’ve got another failed attempt |
'Cause if it makes them money |
They might just give you life this time |
