Tie a red silk scarf around my mouth
This protest needs the hearing and the sight
Fantastic place to be, a place to live in
Forgive them, they are young and rich and white
Cash rules everything around me
The slowest animals have up and gone
An accident sits down with you for breakfast
Things are better now we have the bomb
A stranger pulls the white sheet from your body
Crutches tap the rhythm of a song
An accident sits down with you for breakfast
Things are better now we have the bomb
Lovely girls slip softly into ruin
Boys of summer scattered all around
We thought we were natural survivors
Forgive me if I go out with a bang
