Lyrics
I'm gonna turn my back for awhile, down
While nothing bad can or will befall
The lights welcome me all by myself
And the fires only bronze they do not burn
Well do you understand girls where its going
I'll fuck girls, if there's violence to come
Why, happiness, ohhhh happiness
They're crying, and their night has come
See them in the theatre, they're very, very real
Scold them when they come home, dirty, crying
Well, love, is forbidden outwardly
But inside there is no denying, oh
So move love aside, boys, bury their hats
And they suffer while they waste and hurt
They are men who bow before us now
And i do not trust them, no
How many children are there like this?
Yeah, and how many will I serve?
O if i could have a clue what justice is
It would be more than i deserve, oh
O time is passing, come into my house
Loot the pantries and muss the sheets
Have you found it useful, thinkin' here?
Your host will be ten miles, on back
