What holds you up,
|
when the earth lets you down.
|
What holds you up,
|
when gravity's corrupted.
|
I hope atoms are enough
|
cause eve sure ain't coming
|
the temperature's up in the afternoon sun
|
the hand threw the breaker
|
but the circut's still humming
|
the man tried to break her
|
but Miss. Switch kept on running
|
|
She ran from the papist,
|
she ran from the crown,
|
she ran to her study,
|
and wrote all this down:
|
|
"I want to keep the perfect flowers from the florist,
|
They grow in private deep inside the thickest forest
|
and when you snip them down
|
you almost hear them sigh.
|
There they're drying asking,
|
'why do we have to die?'"
|
|
What holds you up
|
when you're ready to go
|
what holds you up
|
while the seconds hand is sticking
|
can you feel them slip away
|
80,000 every day.
|
|
When one world says, "Wait!"
|
the next says,"Step aside."
|
When one planet says,"Stop!"
|
another says,"Let it ride..."
|
|
Fuck the boulders on the hill,
|
I see pictures in the clouds.
|
We've got little yellow pills.
|
We've got great big black shrouds.
|
|
We've got arms in the armory, Facts in the factory,
|
Sense in the century, This century of centipedes,
|
this century lies.
|
I hope that we do better next time.
|
|
I would like to see the Tyrant's daughter,
|
so upset by what her father taught her.
|
I would like to see the tyrant's son,
|
so outraged by what his father's done.
|
I would like to see the tyrant's mother
|
so regretful she did not smother.
|
I would like to see the tyrants dad,
|
I'll bet he's glad.
|
|
Hide me from next February,
|
I've grown fat and I've grown tired;
|
Kick my ass now I was once admired.
|
I've grown tired and I've grown fat
|
but there's one more thing so much better than that,
|
I'm already gone.
|
