As you pour yourself a scotchA
Crush a roach or check your watchA
As your hands adjust your tie people dieB
-
In the towns with funny namesC
Hit by bullets caught in flamesC
By and large not knowing why people dieB
-
And in small places you don't know ofD
Yet big for having no chance to screamE
Or say good bye people dieB
-
Chorus La la Let me knowF
-
People die as you electG
New apostles of neglect self restraintH
Whereby people die Too far off to practice loveD
For thy neighbour brother SlavI
Where your cherubs dread to fly people dieB
-
ChorusJ
-
While the statues disagreeK
Cain's version history for its fuel tends to buyB
Those who dieB
-
As you watch the athletes scoreL
Or check your latest statementM
Or sing your child a lullaby people dieB
-
Time whose sharp bloodthirsty quillN
Parts the killed from those who killN
Will pronounce the latter tribeO
As your typeP
