Did it all get real, I guess it`s real enough
They got refrigerators full of blood
Another century spent pointing guns
At anything that moves
Sometimes I worry that I`ve lost the plot
My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts
I never really dreamed of heaven much
Until we put him in the ground
But it`s all I`m doing now
Listening for patterns in the sound
Of an endless static sea
But once the satellite`s deceased
It blows like garbage through the streets
Of the night sky to infinity
But don`t you weep (don`t you weep for them)
Don`t you weep (don`t you weep)
There is nothing as lucky
Honey, don`t you weep (don`t you weep for them)
Don`t you weep (don`t you weep)
There is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free
Don`t be a criminal in this police state
You better shop and eat and procreate
You got vacation days then you might escape
To a condo on the coast
I set my watch to the atomic clock
I hear the crowd count down til the bomb gets dropped
I always figured there`d be time enough
I never let it get me down
But I can`t help it now
Looking for faces in the clouds
I got some friends I barely see
But we`re all planning to meet
We`ll lay in bags as dead as leaves
All together for eternity
But don`t you weep (don`t you weep for them)
Don`t you weep (don`t you weep)
There is no one as lucky
Honey, don`t you weep (don`t you weep for them)
Don`t you weep (don`t you weep)
There is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free
Or free, or free, or free
There`s nothing, there`s nothing, there`s nothing...
