What's so bad about the way you live?
Haven't you been scared of the dark too long?
Wouldn't you like to know what's left?
Don't start
'Cause I felt it second-hand
And it hurts to know I can't
Don't you feel the smoke?
It's filling up your lungs
But go tell me please:
Why not smell the roses while you're here?
Don't wander till you're carbon again
Don't wonder where you should've been
Sweeter than honey, blood in the fire
Follow the money sent over wire
Smoke in the hallway, funeral pyre
Call me a liar again
Don't wander
Ashes to ashes, sing me a prayer now
Ready or not 'cause everything's there now
Tell me it's fair now to cry
And stay up at night
Telling me something about the storm
That's fun
Wouldn't it be easier to just give up
But there's something they're not saying
You know how long it's taking
For someone up above to know what's wrong
But go tell me please:
What's so bad about the way you live?
Don't wander till you're carbon again
Don't wonder where you should've been
Sweeter than honey, blood in the fire
Follow the money sent over wire
Smoke in the hallway, funeral pyre
Call me a liar again
Don't wander
Sweeter than honey, blood in the fire
Follow the money sent over wire
Smoke in the hallway, funeral pyre
Save me the words, give in to desire
Ashes to ashes, sing me a prayer now
Ready or not, 'cause everything's there now
Copy his word so everything's fair now
Everything's dead, 'cause you always stare down
Into the hallway crawl on the floor
Witness the man who's locking the door
Flooding the garden forevermore
That's what government's for!
All of the branches that stem from the center
Fall to the earth by the time you surrender
And all of the kids will never remember
The times that you cried and you failed to defend her
Don't wander till you're carbon again
Don't wonder where you should've been
Sweeter than honey, blood in the fire
Follow the money sent over wire
Smoke in the hallway, funeral pyre
Call me a liar again
Don't wander till you're carbon again
Don't wonder where you should've been
Sweeter than honey, blood in the fire
Follow the money sent over wire
Smoke in the hallway, funeral pyre
Call me a liar
What's so bad about the way you live?
