Attrition

[Verse] Lay here under bombast and gloom Parade of ghouls marches by Headed down to Nero's tomb Raising flags and burning rights [Verse] Warm yourself by a god-made fire Pinocchio with spinning eyes Laugh aloud under bomb-lit skies A victim's smile never lies [Bridge] You have always lived your life like a joke with no time What you going to do about it until you get the punchline right? [Verse] On the cliff above stormy waves Can't decide to climb or drown Up is folly and down disgrace Under thumbs over-written The ladder is poison, have to find a new way around [Outro] What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it? You've always lived your life like a joke with no time You've always lived your life like a joke with no time "Think it's on D" "I think so" "I just hit the wrong chord"
