I've been dead since I was born,
Saw the world didn't want no more,
I stood back and watched it burn - and now everybody's dead.

Out of sight and out of mind,
Will not do the daily grind,
I'll have my coffee like I have my time - Well I've got none of it,

Trade in God trade in your wife,
Leave it for a better life,
Wash your sins then leave em' out to dry - then [bad word] burn yourself,

We're elephants on chicken legs,
Houses built on stilts in water,
We buckle and we bend and then we drown,

Brace for impact - brace for ground,
Take a stand then tumble down,
You'll never get to be the man you want.

I said I wasn't built for this,
Told him that we'd all fall down,
"Tough luck," he said, "humanity ain't [bad word] quot;.
