Letra de We built this city! (on debts and booze)

seeking out an honest living soul
checking every body for a pulse
lifting every eyelid for
a glimmer of evil left to give
meaning to meaningless
that much i´d die for
searching through this
body stack for hours,
from the bottom
pride is gone the night
we sink to the bottom
we´ll never be one of them

awake. arise.
eat. work. shit. sleep.
awake. arise
awake. arise.
eat. work. shit. sleep.
awake. arise

listen as the chorus marching
union roars like a lion
this old man with hat in hand
just said it:
we built this city on debts and booze

twelve years of debt and i´ll be paying it off
with blood and sweat, but it means nothing at all
i´ll pay the price
´til i die
and every jaded hero clings to his worth,
in it for paychecks, moving units and merch
but i decline
to ever be one of them

awake. arise.
eat. work. shit. sleep.
awake. arise

listen as the chorus
marching union roars like a lion
this old man with hat in hand
just said it:
we built this city on debts and booze

legs on the ottoman and head in the mosh
sharp like an astronaut but dull as a rock
an angel´s sigh:
damn right ; we got a problem now
i´m mimicking the drum fills with my head on the wall
the voice of god comes through the morning alarm
awake. arise. awake. arise.

wake up

i´ve laughed before but not so heavy as
a fire and brimstone hilarity mass
that said we´ll be there for the end of it all
by cutting of the strings we used to pull
and reaching deep for thoughts and ways
to bring us back to better days

´til king and queen pass out drunk off their power,
we´ll stand in light of evil eyes forever

we´ll be there for the end of it all
awake. arise.
eat. work. shit. sleep.
awake. arise
we´ll be there for the end of it all

to stand in light of evil eyes, forever
strangers, at the bottom
