<poem> | |||
Say farewell to your fair-weathered friends | |||
And not a second too soon | And not a second too soon | ||
To leave a life among ruins | To leave a life among ruins | ||
Well there was nothing left but to | Well there was nothing left but to | ||
Cut ourselves loose | Cut ourselves loose | ||
These fascists and philistines | These fascists and philistines | ||
Of violence and fashion | Of violence and fashion | ||
These modern day philistines | These modern day philistines | ||
They stand on your hands | They stand on your hands | ||
They stand on my hands | They stand on my hands | ||
Any day now we'll perish | Any day now we'll perish | ||
These are nervous times | These are nervous times | ||
No one can hold a candle to you | No one can hold a candle to you | ||
When it comes down to virtue and truth | When it comes down to virtue and truth | ||
No one can hold a candle to you | No one can hold a candle to you | ||
And I dim next to you | And I dim next to you | ||
No one can hold a candle to you | No one can hold a candle to you | ||
When it comes down to old-fashioned virtue | When it comes down to old-fashioned virtue | ||
Kingdom mine | Kingdom mine | ||
Open your eyes | Open your eyes | ||
Make up your mind | Make up your mind | ||
Am I Einstein? | Am I Einstein? | ||
Or am I Frankenstein | Or am I Frankenstein | ||
You said blow them away | You said blow them away | ||
To kingdom come | To kingdom come | ||
Or will the kingdom be one? | Or will the kingdom be one? | ||
No one can hold a candle to you | No one can hold a candle to you | ||
When it comes down to virtue and truth | When it comes down to virtue and truth | ||
No one, no one can hold a candle to you | No one, no one can hold a candle to you | ||
And I dim next to you | And I dim next to you | ||
Hi-ro-shima | Hi-ro-shima | ||
Yes yes yes! | Yes yes yes! | ||
