In the Name of Tragedy

[Verse 1]

Were you ever lost? Were you ever young?

Were you ever safe, little brother?

Do you see the sense of the evidence?

Are you still part of the struggle?

Did you bang your head? Did you go to bed?

Does it still feel pretty funky?

Lay back and dream in the death machine

Pity you still think like a monkey

[Chorus]

Go! Bring it up, bring it down till you hit the ground

Now! Get a rude attitude, turn the world around

Hey! Shall we see? Shall we disagree?

Sing it all in the name of tragedy

[Verse 2]

Did you ever lie? Ever wonder why

Nobody believed you, honey?

What a pretty smile, drive the people wild

Wonder who ran off with the money

Do you ever change? Is it gonna rain?

Will it bring you pennies from heaven?

Do you know the score? Are you waiting for?

Anxious for the new Armageddon

[Chorus]

Go! Get it up, get it down till you hit the ground

Now! Cop a rude attitude from the world around

Hey! Shall we see? Shall we disagree?

Sing it all in the name of tragedy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Marbles in your mouth; what's it all about?

Do you know the name of the winner?

If I was to go, would you let it show?

Life is not a TV dinner

If you dream of me, will you ever see?

Do you want a piece of the action?

If I wasn't sure, would you do it more?

Help me to achieve an erection

[Chorus]

Go! Get it up, get it down till you hit the ground

Now! Cop a rude attitude, turn the world around

Ooh! Shall we see? Shall we disagree?

All in the name of tragedy

Now! Sing it loud, sing it out, make the people shout

Ooh! Get it all, get it on, get it sorted out

Now! Be a seer, be sincere; can you really see?

All in the name of tragedy
