The sun came up with no conclusionsFlowers sleepin in their bedsThe city cemetary s humminI m wide awake its morningI have my drugs I have my womenthey keep away my lonelinessMy parentsthey have their religionsBut sleep in seperate housesI read the body count out of the paperand now its written all over my faceNo one ever plans to sleep out in the gutterSometimes thats just the most comfortable placeSo I m drinkinbreathinwritinsinginEvery day I m on the clockMy mind races with all my longingsbut can t keep up with what I gotI hope I dont sound too ungratefullwellhistory gave modern mana telephone to talk to strangersa machine gun and a camera lenseSo when you re asked to fight a war thats over nothingIt s best to join the side thats gonna winNo one s sure how all of this got startedBut we re gonna make em God damn certain how its gonna endI could have been a famous singerif I had some one else s voiceBut failure s always sounded betterLet s fuck it up boysmake some noise!
