Bright Eyes - The Trees Get Wheeled Away Lyrics
Anchormen spike their blood, wear masks of mudCucumbers cut to fit their eyesSo no one would know how tired theyve grownOf talking and telling their liesWhile the TV's change stations, scroll messagesVictims and Christians are both drinking bloodAnd they pray for the destruction of all hatredMore often just those with hate for us'Cause it hurts when you discover one's worse and one's betterTo suffer or cause others toAnd you can live by your conscience, now guilt is a conceptYoure no longer subscribing toTheres a virgin in my bedAnd shes taking off her dressAnd Im not sure what I am gonna doTheres a song stuck in my headAnd I cant help singing itAnd how I hope my singing pleases you'Cause I am not who I've become but what you made me intoIve got no health insurance, no cellular serviceNo disease they can cureWe need more money to burn so each person must learnThe dollar amount they are worthAnd those pills make me dizzy, forgetting my bodyI watch as it walks awayAnd I just keep drinking the poison and smoking the cartonsA pack and a half a dayAnd so when time comes to claim meMy friends and my family will gather around my graveAnd theyll believe that they knew me and loved me and miss meAnd all call me by my nameSo imagine what you wantAnd then hold onto that thought'Cause thats as close as it will ever comeAnd believe youre where you areJust keep acting out the partAt the end of the day the trees all get wheeled awayAnd youll be standing alone in a blank, blank spaceSo believe youre who you areAnd just stay in characterBut at the end of the play the audience
