lyrics

So the writing’s on the wall. Raise a glass to mass confusion. Are we here at all? Dressed to the nines and still in love with our disaster, one that’s three eras tall. Unionists and tyrants dressed in drag will tear us apart. Who do you turn to when the system’s breaking your heart? Mayday’s downtown on break singing “light bulbs, lust and a country we hate.” We all fall down.

I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs. We’ll dance as the city burns. I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs. Another nosebleed revolution. Red light. Blue light. Nowhere’s in sight. Swallowing a calibre or running for your life. I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs.

The rubber bullets taste like they can finally hear us. Tear gas and baton bouquets. The teenagers mix paint and PW broke his finger. I’m sure we’ll all be okay. The junkies slow dance with your daughters to your least-favourite song. I found a necklace in the Congress’ guide to getting along. Here’s four for you, one for me and one for dear Democracy. We all fall down.

I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs. We’ll dance as the city burns. I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs. Another nosebleed revolution. Red light. Blue light. Nowhere’s in sight. Swallowing a calibre or running for your life. I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs. I can hear bombs.
