lyrics

Bad Seeds

Please tell me when it’s over- Keep my eyes closed ‘til then
Can’t bear to see hypocrisy from children playing men
Please wake me when it’s ended- count sheep and hold my breath
Why do we strive to damn the live while bowing down to death?

Please catch me ‘cause I’m falling- It’s a national disease
Kids uncouth discard their youth for making more babies
Please stop me ‘cause I’m sinking- Lost faith in all mankind
Child getting high on dads supply while parents remain blind

See the nightly talking heads spout vein and vile lies
Watch civil liberties dissolving right before your eyes
Glamorizing the inept feeds fowl and filthy needs
One more misguided, ever-privileged, self in-dul-gent seed

Please save me ‘cause I’m drowning- in ignorance and hate
Government supplies the guns and children take the bait
Please help me ‘cause I’m losing- my mind, and what remains
Can’t fathom why people could treat the homeless with disdain

See the nightly talking heads spout vein and vile lies
Watch civil liberties dissolving right before your eyes
Glamorizing the inept feeds fowl and filthy needs
One more misguided, ever-privileged, self in-dul-gent seed

See the nightly talking heads spout vein and vile lies
Watch civil liberties dissolving right before your eyes
Glamorizing the inept for fowl and filthy deeds
It takes good men to raise a village
Not frat jocks that rape and pillage
More misguided, ever-privileged, self in-dul-gent……

We love each other so you don’t have to…. ... more
