There's a man, there's a fool He's so self-important There's a man there's a fool There's a man there's a fool Cruel cruel cruel He can't hear himself speak He's waiting to speak He's got something to say Won't you listen? Won't you listen? And I pray for some quiet A world that's deaf to your thirst Sewn with a needle a sutured muzzle A golden voice fallen to rust Adore him Adore him Adore him Carry him high carry him to Heaven Adore him Adore him Adore him A weakened wagon of lepers Beg beg beg Don't leave me here Don't leave me to silence Sick Sick Sick On our broken backs Our filthy king And I pray for some quiet And I pray for some quiet Around and around So it goes Around and around So it goes So it goes
