My aren't we tenacious?
Or are we just quite envious infectious
Such as my illuminating pride
Breaking down this moment the self proclaimed well
Everlasting cure constructed to combat my disease

So we wrote some new affairs
And spent some cash to cover you up
So well before I become your lie again
We breaking hard for summer these stitches
Held by our indifference here we are marching away
For the last time darling

What am I to do now I said just what am I to do now I said
On the receiving end of static meant to shut you down
We've been campaigning your politics
I read them like holy scriptures to the privileged and the proud
I've accepted loss, accepted guilt just for you to shut me out
And play out like we're well rehearsed
Parade around me like some drunken sailors without their captain,
It's been so long since I have drank

Empires shake and fall from lack of understanding
I'll be the martyr for your cause a fashion that is fire
What I do is not some attempt to become holy
I built this from my body This is for you

And she said, "You better make that money!"

Bled some sounds off record I've created something perfect
That the world will sing it, and sing it loud:

"Praise to the empire tonight, until we bring it down!"
