And now i wonder what´s going
On and who´s really in another world while you´re
Asleep the makeup you´re
Wearing runs down your face
Like so many tears watch them
Piss away any hope for change
Any hope for anything new and
Watch them burn it down turn
The hoses on and announce a
New beginning tonight we wave
And give up a smile as a
Flaming shuttle passes by
Outside the window something
Is creeping a burning
Skeleton beams with pride
Step over bodies past corpses
In waiting blank it´s just a
Human shell it´s just a
Memory your indecision is a contribution to the cancer
That infects the earth that
Impassioned speech almost provides the heat to keep the
People sleeping on the
Streets warm out there in the
Cold in a burnt-out world
Tonight we´ll drink champagne
And dance until it´s dawn
Safe inside our fenced and
Guarded lawns let it burn
Down tonight ignore the
Blackened skies pouring down
A bloody red rain your
Television´s watching you watching a blank watching a
Slab or meat you´re just a memory it´s burning down
Tonight for the rest of your
Life it´s gonna be so cold
