So Says I Lyrics

edit | print

An address to the golden door
I was strumming on a stone again
Pulling teeth from the pimps of gore when hatched
A tragic opera in my mind...
And it told of a new design
In which every soul is duty bound
To uphold all the statutes of boredom therein lies
The fatal flaw of the red age

'Cause it was nothing like we'd ever dreamt
Our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated
'Cause it made no money nobody saved no one's life this time.

So we burned all our uniforms
And let nature take its course again
And the big ones just eat all the little ones
That sends us back to the drawing board.

In our darkest hours
We have all asked for some
Angel to come
Sprinkle his dust all around
But all our crying voices they can't turn it around
You've had some crazy conversations of your own.

We've got rules and maps and guns in our backs
But we still can't just behave ourselves
Even if to save our own lives so, says I, we are a brutal kind.

'Cause this is nothing like we'd ever dreamt
Tell Sir Thomas More we've got another failed attempt
'Cause if it makes them money they might just give you life this time.

An address to the golden door 
I was strumming on a stone again 
Pulling teeth from the pimps of gore when hatched 
A tragic opera in my mind... 
And it told of a new design 
In which every soul is duty bound 
To uphold all the statutes of boredom therein lies 
The fatal flaw of the red age 
 
'Cause it was nothing like we'd ever dreamt 
Our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated 
'Cause it made no money nobody saved no one's life this time. 
 
So we burned all our uniforms 
And let nature take its course again 
And the big ones just eat all the little ones 
That sends us back to the drawing board. 
 
In our darkest hours 
We have all asked for some 
Angel to come 
Sprinkle his dust all around 
But all our crying voices they can't turn it around 
You've had some crazy conversations of your own. 
 
We've got rules and maps and guns in our backs 
But we still can't just behave ourselves 
Even if to save our own lives so, says I, we are a brutal kind. 
 
'Cause this is nothing like we'd ever dreamt 
Tell Sir Thomas More we've got another failed attempt 
'Cause if it makes them money they might just give you life this time.
