Lyrics
Buildings For Dead People
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.
We build buildings for the dead
We build restrooms for the sick
We build up walls for everything
We make a wall for the sake of it
And buildings for the people
And paintings for the blind
Are capable of giving life
Or taking out your eyes
And buildings for the people
And paintings for the blind
Are capable of giving life
Or taking out your eyes
Queue for bread is entertainment
When they're trying to blow your head off
So from the womb into the tomb
Making sure you feel at home
And buildings for the people
And paintings for the blind
Are capable of giving life
Or taking out your eyes
They're buildings for the people
And paintings for the blind
Capable of giving life
Or taking out your eyes
History will make us
Or history will break us
All time is the same
All the hindrances linger
We're treated just the same with fame
While branded in this reconciles
Get ready to say goodbye
Get ready to say goodbye
