lyrics

Step up and sing or sit back and pout
Whatever you think will make us think what you think you're all about
Get in the ring or sob in your drink
You don't need to throw a single punch
To show you're a knock out

Just to the side of our righteous leftist lives
The man you loved is not this one

Now I'm peeling off all my bandages
And rising up from my tomb
I'm exposing all of my wounds to the wind
And running around in the nude
We didn't stand one single chance
Of getting into that man's heaven
He was always watching from a short distance
With a sideways glance
We were just neighbors to our savior
We just obeyed because he did us favors
I washed off the rocks that I found in the yard
It turns out that I had been pissing out diamonds

It tore my head to shreds
I've got no good news
But I'm collecting clues
I'm a mummy just rising up from the tomb
And I'm running as fast as I can through th
