The Trees Get Wheeled Away

Bright Eyes

    Anchormen spike their blood
    Wear masks of mud
    Cucumbers cut to fit their eyes
    And so no one would know how tired they've grown
    Of talking and telling their lies

    While your tvs change stations
    Scroll messages
    Victims and christians both drinking blood
    And they pray for the destruction of all hatred
    More often just those with hate for us

    Cause it hurts when you discover one's worse and one's better
    To suffer or cause others to
    And you can live by your conscience
    Now guilt is a concept
    You're no longer subscribing to

    There's a virgin in my bed
    And she's taking off her dress
    I dunno what i am gonna do
    There's a song stuck in my head
    And i can't help singing it
    Oh how i hope my singing pleases you
    Cause this is not who i've become
    But what you made me into

    Oh we got no health insurance
    No cellular service
    No disease they can cure
    But we need more money to burn
    So each person must learn the dollar amount they are worth

    And your pills make me dizzy
    Forgetting my body
    I watch as it walks away
    And i just keep drinking the poison
    And smoking the cartons
    A pack and a half a day

    So when time comes to claim me
    My friends and my family will gather around my grave
    And they'll believe that they knew me and loved me and missed me
    And all call me by my name

    So imagine what you want
    And then hold on to that thought
    Cause that's as close as it will ever come
    And believe you're who you are, keep acting out the part
    But at the end of the day the trees all get wheeled away
    And i'll be shivering cold on a well lit stage.
