lyrics

The scattering
Divided by the proving grounds of luck,
Where the goods are won and lost
And hope was never here at all,
Never here at all.

All the time we wasted
Worrying about when this would come tumbling down,
When it would come falling down,
Well your amber waves are burning now,
And your shining seas
Will hold us all under
Until we drown.

Chorus:
With a tongue and a crown
Anyone can have this house.
Take back the troubled ones,
I don't want to see them around.
Steal the wisdom of the crowd,
Fill up nothing be kerosene,
And leave us like everyone leaves.

Wrapped in opiates and set out to sea.

Never talk back to the land you love.
See it, the wolf, the blood,
The liar pigs with their lying money-guns.
Green eyes, green tongues,
Black hearts, black lungs,
We know the lies you told us,
Since day one.

Pick up a gun and hide between the lines,
Stand at the edge of the ocean,
The edge of the ocean,
The thighs of the pacific,
Are breaking in the wind,
And to the people way out west,
With their finite luck,
I've got nothing left to give.

See it, the wolf, the blood,
The liar pigs with their lying money-guns.
Green eyes, green tongues,
Black hearts, black lungs,
We know the lies you told us,
Since day one.
You let the man with a plan,
And the golden-hands,
Hold you up with a plastic gun.

To steal the wisdom of the crowd,
Who let the snake inside this house?
