[Carl Barât, The Jackals - March Of The Idle lyrics]
Half alive
You watch the fires through your lonely eyes
Without your warpaint on you won’t survive
No point in trying if it’s all a lie
Fire for the souls
Of the wicked and the dull
The feelings they are annul
That was your life
Half alive
You watch the TV as the taxes rise
You think they're listening but
Try this for size
They weren’t too bothered when
The last one died wire up the souls
Of the wicked and the dull
Extrapolate then cull that was your life
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
Are you alive?
Hold your breath and count to twenty-five
Remember cigarettes and moon lit drives
And think of me my love ‘till sleep arives
Rest for your soul
You’re my heart beyond control
My breath my rock n roll you are my life
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
It’s now the march of the idle
When you find your friend is your rival
It shouldn’t hurt at all
It seems so normal to forget survival
Inside we are all animals
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
It’s now there’ll be no revival
It’s now a new fucking Bible
You watch the fires through your lonely eyes
Without your warpaint on you won’t survive
No point in trying if it’s all a lie
Fire for the souls
Of the wicked and the dull
The feelings they are annul
That was your life
Half alive
You watch the TV as the taxes rise
You think they're listening but
Try this for size
They weren’t too bothered when
The last one died wire up the souls
Of the wicked and the dull
Extrapolate then cull that was your life
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
Are you alive?
Hold your breath and count to twenty-five
Remember cigarettes and moon lit drives
And think of me my love ‘till sleep arives
Rest for your soul
You’re my heart beyond control
My breath my rock n roll you are my life
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
It’s now the march of the idle
When you find your friend is your rival
It shouldn’t hurt at all
It seems so normal to forget survival
Inside we are all animals
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
This is march of the idle
It’s now there’ll be no revival
It’s now a new fucking Bible
