Lyrics

[00:45.78] Some say you're trouble, boy
[00:47.72] Just because you like to destroy
[00:48.84]
[00:49.85] All the things that bring the idiots joy
[00:51.41]
[00:51.97] Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?
[00:53.47] And the Kunst won't talk to you
[00:56.23] Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu
[00:57.00]
[00:58.28] Because you robbed a supermarket or two
[00:59.83]
[01:00.39] Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?
[01:01.95]
[01:02.77] Did I see you in a limousine
[01:04.08]
[01:04.58] Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
[01:05.96]
[01:06.77] Turn the rich into wine
[01:07.78] Walk on the mean
[01:08.58] That the fallen are the virtuous among us
[01:11.71] Walk among us
[01:12.33]
[01:14.77] Never judge us
[01:15.21]
[01:16.58] Yeah we're all...
[01:17.71] Up now and get 'em, boy
[01:19.02]
[01:19.59] Up now and get 'em, boy
[01:21.46] Drink to the devil and death at the doctors
[01:23.33]
[01:23.96] Did I see you in a limousine
[01:25.20]
[01:25.77] Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
[01:27.40]
[01:28.21] Five thousand users fed today
[01:29.65]
[01:31.59] As you feed us
[01:32.33]
[01:33.83] Won't you lead us
[01:34.45]
[01:35.90] To be blessed
[01:36.46]
[01:45.34] So we stole and drank Champagne
[01:46.58]
[01:47.15] On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain
[01:49.09] "I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"
[01:50.76]
[01:51.33] "I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"
[01:53.16]
[01:53.72] In my blood I feel the bubbles burst
[01:55.53] There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst
[01:57.03]
[01:57.59] You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt
[01:59.22]
[01:59.78] I fell to the floor fainting at the sight of blood
[02:02.34] Did I see you in a limousine
[02:04.03] Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
[02:05.47] Turn the rich into wine
[02:07.22] Walk on the mean
[02:07.85]
[02:08.35] Be they Magdalene or virgin you've already been
[02:10.16] You've already been and we've already seen
[02:12.22] That the fallen are the virtuous among us
[02:14.47]
[02:15.03] Walk among us
[02:15.53]
[02:18.10] Never judge us to be blessed
[02:20.72]
[02:34.35] So I'm sorry if I ever resisted
[02:35.60]
[02:36.22] I never had a doubt you ever existed
[02:37.66]
[02:38.40] I only have a problem when people insist on
[02:39.97]
[02:40.53] Taking their hate and placing it on your name
[02:42.60] Some say you're trouble, boy
[02:44.03]
[02:44.72] Just because you like to destroy
[02:45.91]
[02:46.72] You are the word, the word is 'destroy'
[02:48.16]
[02:48.79] I break this bottle and think of you fondly
[02:50.41]
[02:51.28] Did I see you in a limousine
[02:52.41]
[02:53.03] Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
[02:54.35]
[02:54.97] To the whore in a hostel
[02:56.35] Or the scum of a scheme
[02:57.41] Turn the rich into wine
[02:58.28] Walk on the mean
[02:59.10] It's not a jag in the arm
[03:00.53] It's a nail in the beam
[03:01.53] On this barren Earth
[03:02.41] You scatter your seed
[03:03.28] Be they Magdalene or virgin
[03:04.78] You've already been
[03:05.47] Yeah, you've already been
[03:06.22]
[03:06.78] We've already seen
[03:07.01]
[03:24.71] You've already been
[03:25.21]
[03:25.83] We've already seen
[03:26.65] That the fallen are the virtuous among us
[03:29.14]
[03:29.71] Walk among us
[03:30.15]
[03:30.71] If you judge us
[03:32.52]
[03:34.90] We're all damned
