Hey do you know about the essentials
Painted lips representing genitals
These days prayers are all the same
She fades him out and dreams of fame
What have we created
She offers jelly-rolls but he's wasted
Its closing time on growin' up
We fear ourselves were once we used to love
Is this the best we got
They want you to believe in what is being said
They bomb at night til all the dreams are dead
Scream in the dark like a Detroit train
No one goes outside anymore to taste the rain
The doomsday words from a soldier's soul
She shames her kind for a quarter-roll
Selfish people representing fucked up love
The loudest voices representing what we are not
Is this the best we got
Looking down on Earth hear Marlene's old song
New meaning now where have all the flowers gone
Half will give and half will take
In expectation of love we all must stand and wait
She touched man and he grew tall
He touched her and she grew warm
Is this the best we got
