I see a dying swan
Resting on the marshes of the bank
Her feathers white as snow
Her wings like that of a silk

I hear a dying swan
whispering softly to the river
While she rests and sleeps
the river answers back with a song

A song of life and death
Graping onto her graceful neck
breath took her away
And now she sleeps and never comes back

I know a dying swan
she's like a mother
and the river a home
though her eyes told me no story anymore
I still believe her, that dying swan

Ain't got a job,
Ain't got a car,
Ain't got a reason to feel inferior...

Ain't got a thought,
Ain't got a care,
Ain't got a reason to believe in the..
..Government.

And we're making up excuses as we go (we're not finished here)

So who you're gonna call when you're down and out?
Making ends meet don't seem so pretty now...

Yeah who you're gonna call when you're down and out?
Waiting on a paycheck date to carry you up.
time spent being unemployed.

I am a beast
Sour graping for love
Feeding on affections
To save myself
From this starvation
called loneliness.
We can be beasts sometimes.
