Lyrics
What holds you up When the earth lets you down What holds you up When gravity's corrupted I hope atoms are enough Cause eve sure ain't coming The temperature's up in the afternoon sun The hand threw the breaker But the circut's still humming The man tried to break her But miss. switch kept on running
She ran from the papist She ran from the crown She ran to her study And wrote all this down:
"I want to keep the perfect flowers from the florist They grow in private deep inside the thickest forest And when you snip them down You almost hear them sigh There they're drying asking 'Why do we have to die?'"
What holds you up When you're ready to go What holds you up While the seconds hand is sticking Can you feel them slip away 80,000 every day
When one world says, "wait!" The next says,"step aside." When one planet says,"stop!" Another says,"let it ride..."
Fuck the boulders on the hill I see pictures in the clouds We've got little yellow pills We've got great big black shrouds
We've got arms in the armory, facts in the factory Sense in the century, this century of centipedes This century lies I hope that we do better next time
I would like to see the tyrant's daughter So upset by what her father taught her I would like to see the tyrant's son So outraged by what his father's done I would like to see the tyrant's mother So regretful she did not smother I would like to see the tyrants dad I'll bet he's glad
Hide me from next february I've grown fat and I've grown tired; Kick my ass now I was once admired I've grown tired and I've grown fat But there's one more thing so much better than that I'm already gone
