see the fight
old men crying deny their ruin
watch them try. the cynic laughs
at the optimist's closed eyes
darkness falls, curtain calls
the cynic's beer soon overflows
other watches, has a drink
and from the same cup
they drink
I'm doin' time
how long I don't know
<Interlude>
William had 26
blew his brains out
now look at him
John had only one
watch the mother
mourn her only son
<Interlude>
I'm doin' time
how long I don't know
I'll kiss goodbye
my brain and body
and go to sleep for generations
and go to sleep for generations
salvation cease concentration
you'll only lose the fight
don't tell me
what's wrong or right
you're losing sight
you're just gonna die anyway
