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 of meat
You're just a memory
It's burning down tonight
For the rest of your life
It's gonna be so cold
It's gonna be so cold
It's gonna be so cold
It's gonna be so cold
It's gonna be so cold
It’s always gonna be so cold
