lyrics

bare bones and shoestrings against the dawn
tall-ordered posturing, mistakes foregone
if i just took the blame i would forfeit my turn
not every book contains a lesson you should learn
you snicker and sneer, i'm being sincere
you come to mock, i come to revere
for all of the weaklings and all the strong
let's muster the means to just get along
if i recite the lines you've written for my part
i'd be as plastic as your artificial heart
in all of the time we had to kill
to get from the cave to the top of this hill
we still can't get a grip on the power of true love
that feigning ignorance is ignorance enough
so won't you shut up and be a tool
for the foremen of fate who built this ship of fools
just turn it off with sex and drugs and rock and roll
put the tag up on your windshield and pay the fucking toll
