(G. Liszt)
Wake up
Youve got to wake up and work!
Youve got to wake up and work
But I mean that s**s
What about love
Why green back bucks?
I know you need them
But if youre lonely, bored
Give it up and come with me
Freedom is its own reward
Im on a mission demeaning
Im on a mission demanding
Living a dream, a lie
Living a misunderstanding
You maybe kind
You maybe the finest
Ill stay behind
If youll slay me your highness
Slaughter me baby
Be good and be bad
Whenever what ought to be
Just couldnt be had
Slaughter me
Just slaughter me please
Take my body
Scatter it on the watery seas
She was wise and fine
She had eyes that shine
I quipped quick
And I blinded her with lies that rhyme
Then by the time I woke up shed gone away
At least it lasted till the dawn of day
Every time I die Im reborn in rapture
Ive still got my banjo on the morning after
Slaughter me baby
Be good and be bad
Whenever what ought to be
Just couldnt be had
Slaughter me
Just slaughter me please
Take my body
Scatter it on the watery seas
I promise someday youre going to find me gone
I count every second until its finally dawn
My love to loves like a drought to weather
Id go but if I do go
Ill be out forever
You got to wake up and work
Slaughter me baby
Be good and be bad
Whenever what ought to be
Just couldnt be had
Slaughter me please
Take my body
Scatter it on the watery seas
Freedom is its own reward
