Carl Barât And The Jackals - March Of The Idle lyrics

[Verse 1] Half alive You watch the fires through your lonely eyes Without your warpaint on you won't survive No point in trying if it's all a lie Fire for the souls Of the wicked and the dull The feelings they are annul That was your life [Verse 2] Half alive You watch the TV as the taxes rise You think they're listening but try this for size They weren't too bothered when the last one died Wire up the souls Of the wicked and the dull Extrapolate then cull That was your life [Chorus] This is march of the idle This is march of the idle This is march of the idle This is march of the idle [Verse 2] Are you alive? Hold your breath and count to twenty-five Remember cigarettes and moon lit drives And think of me my love ‘till sleep arives Rest for your soul You're my heart beuond control My breath my rock n roll You are my life [Chorus] This is march of the idle This is march of the idle This is march of the idle It's now the march of the idle [Verse 3] When you find your friend is your rival It shouldn't hurt at all It seems so normal to forget survival Inside we are all animals [Chorus] This is march of the idle This is march of the idle This is march of the idle It's now there'll be no revival It's now a new f**ing Bible
