Come and let's discover the sorrow of beauty
The blindside of loving at the root of all things
Like d**h in a boxcar, sparks from a fallen star
The tears in your eyes, love, that you forgot to cry
So I cheered her with laughter
And went home right after
Crawling on my knees
Trying to find the key
The white and moonlit key
To unlock the human disease
Isn't it uncanny what we'll do for money?
Yes it's quite unnerving, the way she tells me that she loves me
So I take her much too lightly, and she hardly ever sees me
Still we dance the night electric, pretending that we're godly
O hell fire deliver us
From this soggy generation
Nation of half-hearted
Half-witted and redundant
Crawling on their knees
Trying to find the key
The black and bloody key
To unlock the human disease
But if my hands were flames
That could shake the icy sea within
Perhaps I would have met him
The man I missed in Brussels
And laughed at in Manila
The soldier on my trophy rack
Waving an American flag and an AK-47
While the radio played in all these places -
"Just another brick in the wall"
So I see through the bloody sham
I drop my chin and understand
Then everything is dead to me
Because I am the man
There's silence in the pa**ing of each and every life
Whether it be mother, sister, lover, friend or wife
Father or brother, daughter or son
I will howl after d**h until this damned thing is done
And my hands are wrapped around his neck
And my gun has broken both his knees
And I'll make that pale b**h swallow
His skeleton key
