And I won't pretend It was all a bed of roses Drunken punk rock shows and Cocaine noses And I won't pretend there was no friction I was Chairman Mao to your Dick Nixon And I won't pretend That I'm not angry I couldn't if I tried Cause some rocks are too heavy for mere mortals to carry Some rocks are too heavy for mere mortals to carry And this is like an avalanche like In slow motion Atlas danced Rocks crumble earth falls to the seas All we're left with is debris In a million years they'll find us here Their scientists and volunteers They'll rob our graves and steal our bones Make plastic models of our homes You and I will meet again Behind Plexiglas - long lost friends Nothing left but chipped remains You'll smile so wry I'll shake your hand and pretend Cause some rocks are too heavy for mere mortals to carry Some rocks are too heavy for mere mortals to carry
