All the latest toughs
You've got to shrug them off
Shut them off
With ten-thousand-time-told truths
You've still got to ask for proof
Ask for proof
'Cause if you're dying to be led
They'll lead you up the hill in chains
To their popular refrains
And then your slaughter's been arranged, my little lamb
It's much too late to talk the knife out of their hands
Well, I woke up on a foggy morning
Hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun
But it came out and it shot its rays down
It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone
But they're dying, anyway
To turn to ash
To feel their feelings flash and finally fade away
In one fabulous and fiery display
Hiding from the sun, we were hiding from the sun
We were hiding from the sun, we were hiding from the sun
It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone
It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone
And I don't know what notes you want to hear played
Can't think what lines you'd like me to sing or say
Not sure what subjects you want mentioned
So just pause and add your own intentions
Just pause and add your own
Let's pause and add our own
Let's pause and add our own intentions
Right here
It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone, it was burning everyone, it was burning everyone
We were hiding from the sun
All the latest toughs
Well, we have seen that stuff
And we have seen enough
Blood in dying coughs
Which means that we have lost
We have lost
But if you're crying to be tossed
They'll toss you down the oubliette
With all the old things that you let yourself forget
Because you'd like to love a star
Who'd throw you down below the ground he thinks you are
