1
well the world's getting heavy and it sticks to my feet
2
well practiced in losing and brave in defeat
3
with no friends in this business you keep your enemies sweet
4
and keep one in the chamber for every stranger you meet
5
I'll take pieces of silver for a head full of rhyme
6
I'll take a headache and a casket for a life full of time
7
I'll take a patch of new mexico and I will call it mine
8
And I'll swear never to return to the scene of the crime
9
Well the mob's getting angry and the torches alight
10
Because they're putting up taxes by a penny tonight
11
And you can never taste freedom boys if you run from a fight
12
And when the heavens are falling take a step to the right
13
So we smoke ourselves skinny and we drink ourselves blind
14
Self-discovery knocks but there is nothing to find
15
And if you're looking for victims would you keep me in mind
16
Let us be kissed on the cheek, let us be fucked from behind
17
There's no need to tread carefully there's no need to fear
18
Just talk in obscure non-specifics and try to look all sincere
19
Every administration blames the one from last year
20
So when consequence calls there'll be nobody here
21
So we sell out our kids for a tank full of gas
22
And a lifetime in plastics for a fistful of cash
23
Let the rivers run dry let the economy crash
24
And let the discotheques resound to the requiem mass
25
So we sell out our kids for a tank full of gas
26
And a lifetime in plastics for a fistful of cash
27
Let the rivers run dry let the economy crash
28
And let the discotheques resound to the requiem mass
