Titus Andronicus - Richard II lyrics

[Titus Andronicus - Richard II lyrics]

Soon you'll be burning orphanages down
Watching ashes scatter all over town
And when the smoke gets too
Close to the ground
You'll see blue trampling over grey
And green over brown
And you'll be cutting ears off of dead men
Pumping shells into the carcass
For hours on end
Then you'll swear that we've
Always been friends
And be unable to conceive it
Could ever happen again

Of course
You have never been to blame for the
Various horrible things that you did
You may have gotten away with them too
If not for those meddling kids
The lump in your throat
The ache in your bones


They are nobody's fault but your own

And whatever amount you paid
For your many distractions, well
It was too much and at the end of the day
To whatever extent you hate yourself
It isn't enough and we can no longer afford
Waiting for someone to lift
This terrible swift sword
In our basements, we all look so bored
We've never seen the glory of
The coming of the Lord

There will be parties, there will be fun
There'll be tall gallows for everyone
And we will all be sleeping easy
Upon the sinking of the sun
But there's only one dream that I keep close
And it's the one of my hand at your throat

I will not deny my humanity
I'll be rolling in it like a pig in feces
Because there's no other integrity
In awaiting the demise of our species

May you endure every indignity
Knowing all the while that life will go on
And when it ends, may you
Have nothing to say
Except that it took too long
And may I be there somehow
Asking, "Where are all your friends now?"
