Fix Bayonets!

I stopped to start and think about The fire burnin' on the faces of the stars Illuminating disassembled copin' mechanisms Catalogues of broken dispositions lyin' heavy and substantial Pilin' up on the decrepit woolen carpet It's alright, we can celebrate the evaporating Homo Sapien race That's racing to erase its brief and glorious existence Lead with blind enthusiasm, soaked in sweat And smilin' with insanity and broken cigarettes (fix bayonets) We're dissolving in the gutter with the sour rain And I'm lost in the middle of it all again Patiently ignite the fuse And sit and wait for everything to detonate We'll analyze the pain within the expiration date Everybody wants to forget about every little thing that they hate Unsynthesized telepathy, a sympathetic symphony Put another foot in another shoe, please send assistance As I wander through the black without appropriate schematics We certainly appreciate the call to all Civilian cadets Chalk up your hands and hoist the flag (fix bayonets) We're dissolving in the gutter with the sour rain And I'm lost in the middle of it all again We're dissolving in the gutter with the sour rain And I'm lost in the middle of it all again It was all over Before it ever began It was all over Before it ever began It was all over Before it ever began It was (weighing us down) All (screeching to a halt) Over (and done without through the exit wound) Before (it was too little) It all (it was too late) Began (we were all on board to fall apart)
