lyrics

Went to the well but it dried up,
you've offered us that empty cup
it's left us bloated, dehydrated,
a thirst that cannot be abated

Shoved down your feast and became fat
no leftovers for dog and cat
ate until you vomit then
served it up to eat again

You burnt that candle at both ends
expect a flame that never ends
Listened for the dying groans,
let culture vultures pick the bones

Still amazed you found the time
to study dentistry at night
leave us with, no teeth left to bite

still some fuel left to blaze a trail
or at least to try and fail
but please try resist temptation
To use it for self immolation

If this means mutiny
I think we'd rather drown at sea
Then hear another nautical metaphor

Aren’t you fucking bored
of every song being above board
And so easy to ignore!

…..........with hubris calling,
we should probably heed the warning
But we're so sick of bread that's stale,
The snake don't have to eat it's tail

But we're also out of ideas
except for hacking off our ears

This song's the same, we ain't tried
it's simple rhymes for simple minds

in four time!
