We Are The Chopped

NoMeansNo


We are the chopped, the chopped 
The lecer drops and stops 
This is not good or bad 
Transformers hum and pop 
The little dials they drop 
No reason to be sad 

It's only to be still with one more role to fill 
The widow stands inline, the loved one's killing time 
Cause when you've stopped, you've stopped 
It's either now or not 
No viction and no crime 

As you wander through your days, you leave the 
Moments lying cold and underpaid, your savings plans are sound 
They'll do somebody good when you are underground 

This is not good or bad 
No reason to be sad 
No viction and no crime 
Cause when you've stopped, you've stopped 
The ball is thrown and caught 
It's just the end of time 

The mourners ring the bells and shed tears for themselves 
It was really unkind to leave us all behind 
We are the chopped, the chopped 
But you've not said alot 
There's nothing to find 

You make patterns with your eyes and blacken in 
The details you don't recognize, you say that life is breath and when 
The breathing stops you turn mutter 
Death 

We are the chopped, the chopped 
But you've said a lot 
This not good or bad 
No reason to be sad 
We are the chopped, the chopped 
And when the pressure drops 
You simply stop, you stop 
You stop 
You're dead
