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
