Waiting for the Death Blow

[Verse 1] It doesn't matter if we all die Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time, a story on the radio [Verse 2] Something small falls out of your mouth and we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer for something better Please love me Meet my mother, but the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the death blow Waiting for the death blow Waiting for the death blow [Verse 3] Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything?, She struggles to get away The pain and the creeping feeling, a little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday, the death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me and turn me 'round Just like the old days Just like the old days Just like the old days Just like the old days [Verse 4] Caressing an old man and painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance under a black flag A hundred years of blood, crimson The ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth and my head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over, we die one after the other Over and over, we die one after the other One after the other One after the other One after the other One after the other [Outro] It feels like a hundred years A hundred years A hundred years A hundred years A hundred years

[Part 1] [Verse 1] See the way the wind blows Lives are intertwined Watch the way the world goes The man deals out our plight Jester in the corner Laughs without a sound Jester in the corner Malady abounds In our souls [x3] [Verse 2] See the way the sun sets Twilight of this life The man is making little bets Playing with our lives All that I believe now Anything is possible A simple explanation For the evil in this world And in our souls In our souls [Part 2] [Verse 1] Come down to sorry and sable It's always the man Always keeping you down Bow down 'cause I see it before me Shadow and light That always keeps you running [Chorus] Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh Pay the man now yeah Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh [Verse 2] Look at you and your struggle for freedom But you ain't nothing We all pay the man for living Wouldn't it be nice for a change now To be unchained? My life is for me now But this is life This is life [x3] Pay the man (No!) [x3] It's the man (No! ?) [Chorus] Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh Pay the man now yeah Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh Hoo hoo, go! Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh (Don't!) (No!) Oh-oh-oh (Stop! No!) Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh Pay the man now yeah My life is for me Oh oh oh [Hidden Track - Pretty Fly For A White Guy Reprise] Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco ses And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco ses
