Ghost dance in the cul-de-sac The bad kids are all wearing black The world won't have us back My generation was born old Hope i die before i get sold I was born after vietnam The good guys were all dead and gone After the dance was done The lights came back on And everyone was gone "it's been too fucking long" This is the longest song i have ever sung It goes on and on: In a world of lies, life is a crime We do our time (an empty rhyme to fill a line) I've quit the human race I couldn't care to keep that pace You can go ahead and run away "what happened to all the years" They're ringing in my ears My hands are broken clocks My legs are twin towers My heart is a hallmark card Of bad family photographs Small towns and nervous laughs Lullabys of the lower-middle class And other such broken promises They can have that life I'll keep wasting my time They can have that lie We'll take a life of crime
