Attrition

Lay here under bombast and gloom A parade of ghouls marches by Headed down to Nero's tomb Raising flags and burning rights Warm yourself by a god-made fire Pinocchio with spinning eyes Laugh aloud under bomb-lit skies A victim's smile never lies You have always lived your life like a joke with no time What you gonna do about it until you get the punch line right? On the cliff above stormy waves Can't decide to climb or drown Up is folly and down disgrace Under thumbs over written The ladder is poison have to find a new way around What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? You have always lived your life like a joke with no time You have always lived your life like a joke with no time
