DESPERATE

BUT NOT HOPELESS

I FEEL SO USELESS

IN THE MURDER CITY

DESPERATE

BUT NOT HELPLESS

THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT

IN THE MURDER CITY

I'M WIDE AWAKE

AFTER THE RIOT

THIS DEMONSTRATION

OF OUR ANGUISH

THIS EMPTY LAUGHTER

HAS NO REASON

LIKE A BOTTLE

OF YOUR FAVORITE POISON

WE ARE THE LAST CALL

AND WE'RE SO PATHETIC

CHRISTIANS CRYING

IN THE BATHROOM

AND I JUST WANT TO

BUM A CIGARETTE

WE'VE COME SO FAR

WE'VE BEEN SO WASTED

IT'S WRITTEN

ALL OVER OUR FACES

DREAMING

I AM ONLY DREAMING

OF ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME

WHERE MY FAMILYS FROM

SINGING

I CAN HEAR THEM SINGING

WHEN THE RAIN HAD WASHED AWAY

ALL THESE SCATTERED DREAMS

DYING

EVERYONE'S REMINDED

HEARTS ARE WASHED IN MISERY

DRENCHED IN GASOLINE

LAUGHTER

THERE IS NO MORE LAUGHTER

SONGS OF YESTERDAY

NOW LIVE IN THE UNDERGROUND

LIFE BEFORE THE LOBOTOMY

CHRISTIANS SANG THE EULOGY

SIGN MY LOVE A LOST MEMORY

FROM THE END OF THE CENTURY

WELL IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU SICK

TO CAST A STONE AND THROUGH A BRICK

WHEN THE SKY IS FALLING DOWN

IT BURNED YOUR DREAMS INTO THE GROUND

CHRISTIAN'S LESSON

IS WHAT HE'S BEEN SOLD

WE ARE NORMAL AND SELF-CONTROLLED

HEY GLORIA

ARE YOU STANDING CLOSE TO THE EDGE?

LOOKOUT TO THE SETTING SUN

THE BRINK OF YOUR VISION

ETERNAL YOUTH IS

A LANDSCAPE OF THE LIFE

THE CRACKS OF MY SKIN CAN PROVE

AS THE YEARS WILL TESTIFY

SAY YOUR PRAYERS AND LIGHT A FIRE

WE'RE GOING TO START A WAR

YOUR SLOGAN'S A GUN FOR HIRE

IT'S WHAT WE WAITED FOR

HEY GLORIA,

THIS IS WHY WE'RE ON THE EDGE

THE FIGHT OF OUR LIVES BEEN DRAWN TO

THIS UNDYING LOVE,

GLORIA, VIVA LA GLORIA

YOU BLAST YOUR NAME

IN GRAFFITI ON THE WALLS

FALLING THROUGH BROKEN GLASS THAT'S

SLASHING THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT

I CAN HEAR IT LIKE A JILTED CROWD

GLORIA,WHERE ARE YOU GLORIA?

YOU FOUND A HOME

IN ALL YOUR SCARS AND AMMUNITION
