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"
