Trees Get Wheeled Away

Bright Eyes

    Anchor men spike their blood
    Wear a mask of mud, cucumbers cut to fit their eyes
    so no one would know how tired they've grown
    of talking and telling their lies
    While the tv's change stations
    scroll messages, victims and christains both drinking blood
    and they'll pray for the destrucion
    of all hatred, more often just those with hate for us
    cause it hurts when you discover ones worse and ones better
    to suffer or cause others to
    and you can live by your concious
    now guilt is a concept you're no longer subscribing to

    Theres a virgin in my bed
    and shes taking off her dress
    and I'm not sure what I am goin' do
    Theres a song stuck in my head
    and i can't help singing it
    oh how i hope my singin pleases you
    cause this is not who i've become but who you make me into

    we've 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 those pills make me dizzy, forgetting my body
    i watch as it walks away
    and i just keep drinking the poisen
    and smoking the cartons
    a pack and a half a day
    and 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 love me and miss me
    and all call me by my name

    so immagine what you want and hold onto that thought
    cause thats as close as it will ever come
    and believe you're were you're are
    keep acting out the part
    but at the end of the day
    the trees all get wheeled away
    and you'll be standing alone in a blank, blank space

    so believe you're who you are
    and stay in character
    but at the end of the play the audience walks away
    and ill be shivering cold on a well lit stage
