The sun came up with no conclusions
Flowers sleeping in their beds
The city´s cemetery´s humming
I´m wide awake, it´s morning
And I have my drugs, I have my woman

They keep away my loneliness
My parents, they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses
I read the body count out of the paper
And now it´s written all over my face
No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
Sometimes that´s just the most comfortable place
So I´m drinking, breathing, writing, singing
Everyday I´m on the clock
My mind races with all my longings
But can´t keep up with what I got
So I hope I don´t sound too ungrateful
What history gave modern men
A telephone to talk to strangers
Machine guns and a camera lens
So when you´re asked to fight a war that´s over nothing
It´s best to join the side that´s gonna win

And no one´s sure how all of this got started
But we´re gonna make ´em goddamn certain how it´s gonna end
Oh yeah we will, oh yeah we will
Well I could have been a famous singer
If I had someone else´s voice
But failures always sounded better
Let´s fuck it up, boys, make some noise
The sun came up with no conclusions
Flowers sleeping in their beds
The city´s cemetery´s humming
I´m wide awake, it´s morning
