And every soldier's face is burnt And it's a mask with a flash And their hands are turned to rifles now And they kill everything they touch
So I watch the trees swaying in the breeze Keeping beat to the butchery
And every subway station's wrecked It shuts down and off And business men in a panic: 'Here they come! Here they come!' And they collect power killing love
So I watch the bat A picnic death camp Keeping beat to the butchery
So children come burn the skyscrapers And the cities alive Concrete vineyards And the metronome clicks like new And the metronome clicks over our skulls
And every single window pane is smashed And every cop is smiling broken glass Here's a place where the soldiers came To rake up all that they could take
So toss another bottle Pull another pin Light up the sky in a butchery
So children come burn the skyscrapers And the cities alive Concrete vineyards And the metronome clicks like new And the metronome clicks over our skulls
