lyrics

I once saw a hearse miss its exit on a roundabout
It spun a second oh-so solemn circle trying to find the right way out
It's times like these we give the world our hate
Not for allowing death but refusing to commemorate
It's never once made the effort, never bent nor bowed
Never cared about the situations mood
And it never will
And that's a bitter pill

There's a youtube video of a man proposing at the half-time of some baseball game, but she just walks away
And he kneels there as the crowd giggle their forty thousand collective tits off - that can't be easy.
It's times like these we give the world our hate
Not for allowing love but refusing to celebrate
It's never once made the effort, never bent nor bowed
Never cared about the situations mood
And it never will
And that's a bitter pill

On the night you were born was there fuck a new star overhead
And would you like to hear the odds of their being three days of darkness when you're dead
It's times like these we give the world our hate
Not for allowing life but refusing to accomodate
It's never once made the effort, never bent nor bowed
Never cared about the situations mood
And it never will

We hunt for the echo in everything we come across
We try to slay thast stubborn silence that threatens the worst
That for all our how-ing and why-ing there's no 'because'
Not with this government and there never was

There will be no miracles here
There will be no suggestion there's anyone up there
You can hang on to your holy book if it helps you float a little longer
But you and I both know a page can only soak up so much water
