We have the strength of pride
For those days remembered
But you take a look outside
Our days are numbered
It's all in your face
This hate and disgrace
What a crying shame
We all know the name
Screws turn, bridges burn
While talking heads take up my screen
Palms greased for the feast
The mouth gapes on this machine
A quick drop and a sudden stop
I hope, I hope, I hope
A quick drop and a sudden stop
Leave me enough rope
One-one-five-eight
Come around, come around on us again
The hour's growing late
And I can't escape my skin
If the wall's too high
And the snake's inside
If the wolves all die
Who will feed the lie?
Screws turn, bridges burn
While talking heads take up my screen
Palms greased for the feast
The mouth gapes on this machine
A quick drop and a sudden stop
I hope, I hope, I hope
A quick drop and a sudden stop
Leave me enough rope
