Lyrics
New Orleans Is A Hole
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.
Decadence is restrained and smothered
By the strictest codes of conduct
And you'll writhe naked upon the sands
As the sun flays every inch of skin
Which is then assaulted and hacked away by the scorching
Barren wind of empty breath
You wail and pray and grovel on your knees
For a drop of water, just a bit of substance
Instead, you must sustain yourself on the scraps of idleness
Or gorge yourself on the incessant corruption and muck of indifference
Excessiveness is a virtue, debasement is a virtue
This is the birthplace of Saint I-Don't-Care
The patron saint of extravagant waste and crippling depression
Enjoy the masquerade of dark, bitter smiles of those
Too senseless to notice the uncanny resemblance
Uptight aristocrat, lackadaisical vagabond
Different uniforms for the same subservient fuck
