Idiots
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's getting crazier in every way;
We've got the same kind of idiots as yesterday.
They were chosen by more idiots
They're one of a kind
They'll steal your life,
But they'll never get mine
Cause I'm gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine!
I'm sick and tired of spending all of my years
Living under the thumbs of those old racketeers.
Power and money - more than life everytime.
They can use your life,
But they'll never get mine.
'cause I'm gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine!
Dead people like to kill..
It's their one remaining thrill.
It's getting crazier in every way;
We've got the same kind of idiots as yesterday
. they were chosen by more idiots
They're one of a kind
They'll steal your life,
But they'll never get mine
'cause I'm gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine!
Dead people like to kill..
It's their one remaining thrill.
