Life is a joke
Sitting passively actively, inhaling the smoke
Eyes like radiation burns, lingering and permanent
Going insane, like a disgusting sermon
Preaching with black tainted beer where there should be bourbon
Image and sounds like a perverted Carmina Burana
Disguised as a driver, charging me a fare to where
I just wanna die, among the elephants, the poor, and the tragically faire

Looking for symbolism, where there is simply none
Watching the years end, in the same place they begun
IM GIVING UP MY VICES, says the drunkard
IM QUITTING WHAT KILLS ME, says the foolishly unencumbered
Parallel walls of grounded stars lead to the same ******* place
As any other god ****** road, between main and sixth, fallen from grace

Streets, lined with tattoo parlors and broken down antique stores
And the run down old churches, which only tell you ****** forever more
Theres only time for open caskets, one by one
As we gaze into the glazed eyes of an american dream undone
By complacency, as we watch it waste away in a hospital bed conundrum

Cigarette smoke rain clouds; harbringers of times ill to come
Puke your guts out people, get your fix, doesnt matter where it comes from
And as the acid rain dreams burn away reality
Well finally realize our lack of genuine alacrity
How long was I not there, we'll all wonder
As that wall of atomic fire rushes closer

Only until it's too late do we learn from history
And when our house of love and avarice is burning to ashes
Will we see the thousands of errors
That made us **** one another
