LYRICS
Their eyes appears to be open
But, somehow I was hopin’
There’ld be a sign of life
Amidst all the strife
I mean what the heck
Is it dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck
Though their skin still feels warm
There’s still cause for alarm
For there’s no sign of life
Amidst all the strife
I mean what the heck
Is it dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck
No, there’s no longer a pulse
Time to call hearse
No, there’s no sign of life
They’re free of their strife
I mean what the heck
We’re all dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck

LYRICS
Look at me now!
Look, Ma! No hands
Look at me now!
Can you hold my beer
Is there method to the madness
For I confess to knowing less
Look at me now!
Look, Ma! No hands
No “understands”
No one understand
Look at me now!
Can you hold my beer
Nevertheless
Is there method to the madness
For I confess to knowing less
No less
Is the Great Hope in blind faith
Or the broad scope of bitter taste?

LYRICS
Running late
Are we running too late
At any rate
If we’re running late
Why do we wait?
If we’re running late
Why do we wait?
The gears of time are cranking
To gods of youth no thanking
No time to ask why
We’re letting time pass by
Enough smelling the roses
And pausing for poses
All the while one supposes
We under appreciate late

LYRICS
On such a cold winter’s eve
From greed can you take leave
In the age of hysteria
Push and shove given to love
First is last in America
America, USA
Love gave way
On such a dark winter’s night
Being the beacon’s light
In the age of hysteria
From above shines on love
Last is first in America
America, USA
Loves the way
