The Trees Get Wheeled Away Or Trees: Live In Austi Lyrics

increments spike their blood
where a mass of mud
cucumbers cut to fit
their eyes
and so no one would know how tired they've grown
of talking
and telling their lies

while your TVs change stations
scroll
messages
victims and Christians both drinking blood
and they pray for the
destruction of all hatred
more often just those with hate for us

cause
it hurts when you discover one's worse and one's better
to suffer or cause
others to
and you can live by your conscience
now guilt is a
concept
you're no longer subscribing to

there's a virgin in my
bed
and she's taking off her dress
and I'm not sure what i am gonna
do
there's a song stuck in my head
and i can't help singing it
oh how
i hope my singing pleases you
cause i am not who i become
but what you
made me into

oh we got no health insurance
no cellular service
no
disease they can cure
but we need more money to burn
so each person must
learn the dollar amount they are worth

and your pills make me
dizzy
forgetting my body
i watch as it walks away
and i just keep
drinking the poison
and smoking the cartons
a pack and a half a
day

so when time comes to claim me
my friends and my family will
gather around my grave
and they'll believe that they knew me and love me and
miss me
and all call me by my name

so imagine what you want
and
then hold on to that thought
cause that's as close as it will ever
come
and believe you're where you are and keep acting out the part
but at
the end of the end of the day the trees all get wheeled away
and you'll be
standing alone in a blank blank space

So believe you're who you
are
and stay in character
but at the end of the play the audience walks
away
and you'll be a shivering cold on a well lit stage.
