Sometimes that's just the most comfortable place
Oh yeah we will, oh yeah we will
The city's cemetery's humming
So I hope I don't sound too ungrateful
So when you're asked to fight a war that's over nothing
But sleep in separate houses
And no one's sure how all of this got started
But we're gonna make 'em goddamn certain how it's gonna end
What history gave modern men
Everyday I'm on the clock
No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
But failures always sounded better
I read the body count out of the paper
It's best to join the side that's gonna win
The city's cemetery's humming
Well I could have been a famous singer
But can't keep up with what I got
If I had someone else's voice
My parents, they have their religion
My mind races with all my longings
A telephone to talk to strangers
And I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
Let's fuck it up, boys, make some noise
Flowers sleeping in their beds
And now it's written all over my face
The sun came up with no conclusions
So I'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing
Machine guns and a camera lens
I'm wide awake, it's morning
