the words.

"Move your body to and fro

Languid in the undertow

Going where the currents go

On the road to ruin



Shoot the lights out of the way

Watch the black and white turn grey

Signposts showing us the way

On the road to ruin



Blame the young

Blame the old

Blame it on the lies we told

Burning pictures

In burning books

Some Gods they have all the luck



Looking from the outside in

Turns me inside out





Holy rhymes and pledges grave

That one kills and this one saves

You'll have lots of flags to wave

On the road to ruin



We've got karma by the yard

Look who left his calling card

Stay the course and you'll go far

On the road to ruin



Blame the old

Blame the young

Blame it on the songs we sung

Burning bridges

Burning flags

Ashes or a body bag



Looking from the outside in

Turns me inside out
