"You Keep It"


You keep it
Don't want your pain
Ain't we all got enough?
But that ain't all there is
Excite me with false torture
Don't want the real thing
You keep it
Except on the news
Can't get enough
Birds fly south we ain't looking
Watching blood puddling on the side-walk
At six and ten
Can't get enough
Even watch the re-runs
Can't get enough
The insatiable hole
Can't get enough
Dream it in dreams
Can't get enough
Play it in games
Can't get enough
Till the end of days
Can't get enough
