One, two, three, now The number one biggest game It's when they gain the most fame It's like a race to the top Because they wanna be boss They don't care who they step on As long as they get along Politicians in my eyes They could care less about you They could care less about me As long as they are to end The place that they want to be They're always wearing false smiles I guess it goes with the style Politicians in my eyes Always tryin' to be slick when they tell us the lies They're responsible for sending young men to die We have waited so long for someone to come along And correct our country's law, but the wait's been too long It's really sickening to see The way they lie on TV The truth is that he can be A better man than you see But when decision time comes That's when they have all the fun Politicians in my eyes They're always tryin' to convince Just like we don't have the sense They look just like it's a quiz But they do real stupid things They'll tell you to trust in them Because you're their biggest friend Politicians in my eyes Reaching out, shaking hands, making friends and other plans Some will rise, some will fall, some won't even answer calls Look a here, see them fight, see the twinkle in their eye Politicians tell me why, can't you hear the people cry

Billions laughed and no one cried The day the politicians died (the day te politicians died) Celebrations spread worldwide The day the politicians died (the day te politicians died) Even their own mothers Their own husbands and wives Said, "now all men are brothers" Let's get on with our lives Billions laughed and no one cried The day the politicians died (the day te politicians died) Celebrations spread worldwide The day the politicians died (the day te politicians died) We've risen from the mud We're different from the beasts We've got the taste for blood So let's eat all the priests Billions laughed and no one cried The day the politicians died (the day te politicians died) Celebrations spread worldwide The day the politicians died It's all one big party now 'Cause all the politicians died

Let me begin with a hearty ho-ho And a tale that nobody tells well I've not come all the way from In-C-I-N-O To be treated like sewage that smells Now I'm certainly not that surprised For this story is older than time Me peg-legged pirate bretheren and I Are society's slug-ridden slime We've all been cast out as scallywag rogues With fire in our beards and our eyes There's a side to us pirates that nobody knows And it's soft as a baby's backside Some of us just want adventures We only seek wind in our earrings Why are we constantly misunderstood? Don't ya know pirates have feelings? Poor pirates, p-o-o-r Poor pirates, p-o-o-r Poor pirates Can't deny this simple truth Poor pirates, p-o-o-are People too (too) "Nice harmonies, mateys!" Think of how hard we have had it (so hard) 'Bout our ships there is not much to eat (not much to eat) And dentists hate pirate insurance (yo-ho, no!) Which is why we've so many gold teeth (we've too many gold teeth) Laundry stays damp and me boots start to sink And me fingernails filthy and dirty The internet loads unbelievably slow And we bedtimes are at seven thirty Poor pirates, p-o-o-r, p-o-o-r Poor pirates, p-o-o-r, p-o-o-r Poor pirates Can't deny this simple truth We're poor pirates, p-o-o-r, p-o-o-r Poor pirates, p-o-o-r, p-o-o-r Poor pirates Have it so much worser than you We've got pirate parades to which nobody comes Captain Kidd hosts a marathon but nobody runs Long John Silver invented the bloomin' onion But d'you think he gets credit for that? No! Captain Bombum, no one knows his first name And Old Greenbeard's been driven completely insane Hardly anyone celebrates our one holiday (argggh!) Talk Like a Pirate Day We are poor pirates, p-o-o-r Poor pirates, p-o-o-r Poor pirates Can't deny this simple truth Can't deny that we're poor (pirates are people too!) Poor pirates, p-o-o-r Poor pirates, p-o-o-r Poor pirates Can't deny this simple truth That pirates p-o-o-are People too Yo-ho! Ha!

Alex was my first best friend "Gonna see the world," is what he always said And I begged him, "Take me with you" Alex played guitar and I sang We were gonna be in a rock 'n roll band Dreaming was the only way out Small town and alcohol Our parents sold their goddam souls And we were so angry A single tear from his blue eye As he looked at me and he said goodbye I promised I would never forget Alex said to his dad, "If you ever lay your hands on my mom again, I swear I will kill you, man" Alex came home through the kitchen door Found his mom lying on the floor Then he grabbed that knife His lawyer claimed self-defense But Alex never showed any signs of regret So the judge he said "life" A single tear from his blue eye As he looked at me and he said goodbye I promised I would never forget How we used to ride our bikes down to the lake Write songs about the love we'd make Watch the fire burn deep against the cold We promised right then to never grow old The way the starlight how it hit the waves Just like diamonds shining in a miner's cave We danced naked with no regrets I promised I would never forget

She came in from the desert on a sunny afternoon The devil was among us she was right here in this room And you could cut the air with a knife Drive a stake through her heart But no one is getting out of here Not alive My revolution is in disconclusion Allegations of hope There's no room for people like you and me here We're devilish folk He came in from the ocean with his big green eyes He couldn't stop pretending that he had seen the light But the truth is as bright as the moon You could feel the tension in this room And I would be the first to admit That a broken soul cannot be fixed My revolution is in disconclusion Allegations of hope There's no room for people like you and me here We're devilish folk

Once I was broken You didn't know what to say But just by being there You made it somehow ok I used to turn off the lights And listen to you pray As you begged for peace of mind I just hoped you would stay But forever is coming It's coming to its end Forever is just a dream I had Forever is coming It's coming to its end Forever is just a dream I had I used to be a victim Of cruel hypocrisy You showed me how wrong This world could be And as I stood there staring Straight into the fire My heart was melting In a cool desire Before you judge another Take a look at you're soul Have you yourself become Another brick in the wall Forever is coming It's coming to its end Forever is just a dream I had Peace ain't coming It ain't coming to our beds Peace is just a dream I had Some dream I had

Love is blindness, I don't wanna see Won't you wrap the night Around me Oh, my heart Love is blindness. I'm in a parked car On a crowded street, And I see my love Made complete. The thread is ripping The knot is slipping. Love is blindness. Love is clockworks, And it's cold steel Fingers too numb to feel Squeeze the handle Blow out the candle Blindness Love is blindness I don't wanna see Won't you wrap the night Around me Oh my love Blindness A little death Without mourning No call No Warning Baby, a dangerous idea... Almost makes... sense Love is drowning In a deep well All the secrets And no body else to tell Take the money Why don't you honey Blindness Love is blindness, I'm so sick of it, I don't wanna see Why don't you just take the night And wrap it all around me, now Oh my love Blindness Oh, I'm too numb to feel... Blow out the candle. Blindness.
