It's definitely gotten Weird enough for me Strange days- An understatement So what choice do I have But throw in the towel Cash in my chips Buy the farm Kick the bucket An eye for an eye A truth for a lie The philosophic problem of revenge Is always on my mind Yet I've no counselor to console I guess no one ever does Atop the mountain We're all a mystery No one, even ourselves, Wants to solve Disenchanted souls You know they'll worship your tombstone But not until it goes in the ground Running on a two-dimensional rainbow In a schizophrenic sky Has God shown you his face? My only trigger is a finger And they're calling me Insanely cheap But in their midst I quietly understand In my own alley They talk about free will But all I see is witless swill The same ol' people ******* the sun Glad you weren't here to bear witness You must have known There's only one way to be Earnest When all your friends Are dead people No other choice But to turn inside-in
