We've had a lot of good times brother
I've knows you all my life
Mixing blood and drugs and women
In your journey to the endless night
I've watched you kill the love you're given
You sold your vision for a glimpse of heaven
Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?
There's been a million people brother
Just like you before
Think you're beyond good and eveil
You can't even find the door
Painting pictures on your wall
In junkie blood
Hey man! Ain't that cool?
It's so beautiful!
Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?
Ain't no medicine to cure you
Ain't no woman you can love
Only death can make you painless
Only death can make you come
Junkie Jesus on the cross
You beg for scraps like a mongrel dog
Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?
