And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world

Go read the lyrics online.
Especially poignant in a post-9/11 world.
Oh, fuck it, here they are.

In the event that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion and we never get old
Remember it's true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose
It's a very modern world, but nobody's perfect
It's a moving world, but that's no reason
Shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won't be forgotten
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again, will we?
And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world
Remember it's true, loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by I suppose
But any sudden movement I've got to write it down
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it
down
But I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?
Thanks for this! If any of you can
stand a serious attack against the powerful fools (admittedly, I'm
lacking in great graphics or humor) please check me out on
amberladeira.blogspot.com (Errors Explored and Revealed). I'm definitely a kindred spirit even if with less
pizazz.
