[Verse 1]
(Play Continuously)
The sun came up with no conclusion
It s flowers sleeping in their beds
The cities cometary s humming
I m wide-awake, it s morning
I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents have they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
So I m drinking, breathing, writing, singing
Everyday up on the clock
My mind races with all my longings
But cant keep up with what I got
I hope I don t sound too ungrateful
What history gave modern man
The telephone to talk to strangers
Machine guns and the camera lens
[Chorus]
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 them goddam certain how its gonna end
Oh ya we will, oh ya we will!
[Verse 3/Outro]
( Continuously)
Well I could have been a famous singer
If I had someone else s voice
But failure s always sounded better
Lets it up boys, make some noise!
The sun came up with no conclusion
It s flowers sleeping in their beds
The cities cometary s humming
I m wide-awake, it s morning
