Run and tell your mother Your heart's gone, you're her setting son Were you robbed today? My shallow pockets march the deep parade. Doctors are songs that never get sung The debt gets high, it thinks it's won Will you rob today? By keeping brains alive The tired bodies never sleep A tired life of thinking Got no one to blame So you tell stories Till it's all blurry Strong man seems made of straw Sidewalk, the street sees you Spending your life smashing radios The serial time k**er
Speak so I can hear you I wanna know, but the TV's on Who you robbed today Our short attentions march in lemming parades. All in rows And getting old Hands raised in clean white clothes But no one owes us anything...it's easy So banks and lawyers made heaven free And sleep Could raise the dead And time Could have them all marching Clean me off, I just want to care again Clean me off, I've been digging graves again Time breeds k**ers
