Songs About Roses

Dedicate a life to the dying breed

Throw a punch into the face of vacant leaders and leave

Chloroform the singer who has nothing to say

Stare in wonder as the masses sing along anyway

Pull apart the actors pretending to grieve

They never went to the funeral, and they never believed

Shake your burning placard in the government lawns

Have faith that there is consequence in protest songs

Bulldoze the pedestrian blues and the beige

And those who only write to get blown and get paid

Songs about roses and poisonous lies

Every last rose says you're not even trying

When nobody asks you and nobody cares

If we never hear another song about roses again

We don't need songs about roses

We don't need your terrible blues

We don't need songs about roses

Please sing me something new

We don't need songs about roses

We don't need your terrible blues

We don't need songs about roses

All that we ask for is truth

We don't need songs about roses

We don't need your terrible blues

We don't need songs about roses

Please sing me something new

We don't need songs about roses

We don't need your terrible blues

We don't need songs about roses

All that we ask for is truth
