Attrition

Lay here under bombast and gloom

A parade of ghouls marches by

Headed down to Nero's tomb

Raising flags and burning rights



Warm yourself by a god-made fire

Pinocchio with spinning eyes

Laugh aloud under bomb-lit skies

A victim's smile never lies



You have always lived your life like a joke with no time

What you gonna do about it until you get the punch line right?



On the cliff above stormy waves

Can't decide to climb or drown

Up is folly and down disgrace

Under thumbs over written

The ladder is poison have to find a new way around



What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it?

What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it?



You have always lived your life like a joke with no time

You have always lived your life like a joke with no time
