lyrics
Hard not to notice the way the fingers move
Hard not to believe in the muscles you choose
But carving the face up just to make you smile
And tearing the limbs off just to take more for alittle while
Ain’t the way, you know, to save a friend
But when that day come, when I will meet my end
Just lay me down, with the wind and the rain
So the world will never know, just why I came &
how I’d go
But the soul can stay to resonate the good
99 more years to go, 120 years I’m told I’ll be
‘til they believe in me to be, safe for you & safe
for me
99 more years to go, 120 years I’m told I’ll be
‘til they believe in me to be, safe for you & safe
for me
Remember when we killed the other man?
What was his name again my friend?
Bet he had a family! Well, just a few kids I’m
told!
Remember when we took the other one?
Shot him down just to have a little fun!
Bet he had a family! Well, he wasn’t very old, I’m
told!
Bet he had a family! Well, just a few kids I’m
told!
Bet he had a family! Well, he wasn’t very old I’m
told!
Bet he had a family! Bet he had a family! Bet he
had a family!
Well, just a few kids I’m told!
Bet he had a family! Bet he had a family! Bet he
had a family!
Well, he wasn’t very old I’m told!
So I’m told, so I’m told, so I’m told, so I’m told,
so I’m told, he wasn’t very old, I’m told
Hard not to believe in the muscles you choose
But carving the face up just to make you smile
And tearing the limbs off just to take more for alittle while
Ain’t the way, you know, to save a friend
But when that day come, when I will meet my end
Just lay me down, with the wind and the rain
So the world will never know, just why I came &
how I’d go
But the soul can stay to resonate the good
99 more years to go, 120 years I’m told I’ll be
‘til they believe in me to be, safe for you & safe
for me
99 more years to go, 120 years I’m told I’ll be
‘til they believe in me to be, safe for you & safe
for me
Remember when we killed the other man?
What was his name again my friend?
Bet he had a family! Well, just a few kids I’m
told!
Remember when we took the other one?
Shot him down just to have a little fun!
Bet he had a family! Well, he wasn’t very old, I’m
told!
Bet he had a family! Well, just a few kids I’m
told!
Bet he had a family! Well, he wasn’t very old I’m
told!
Bet he had a family! Bet he had a family! Bet he
had a family!
Well, just a few kids I’m told!
Bet he had a family! Bet he had a family! Bet he
had a family!
Well, he wasn’t very old I’m told!
So I’m told, so I’m told, so I’m told, so I’m told,
so I’m told, he wasn’t very old, I’m told
