We closed our minds, we shut out traps
We built a house, the house collapsed
We sold the wood and bought the farm
Now we got a place in the dirt in the backyard
We were stronger alive, we always smote our foes
Won in a landslide, ran unopposed
Piss drunk on power and cheap wine
We used to waste the world just to waste our time
Yeah, just to waste our time
Now the spirit is strong, but the flesh is weak
Death is long, the living are laughing
Spit on our grave, we don't mind
We're bad as ash, you should've seen us in our prime
Yeah, you should've seen us in our prime
When we were the earth
When we were alive
When we were the rules
When we were the ends
Yeah we were fools
But I still had my friends
We couldn't stay
We didn't try
We didn't cry
When we were alive
When we were alive
