MARCH OF THE IDLE Half alive You watch the fires through your lonely eyes Without your war paint on you won't survive No point in trying if it’s all a lie Fire for the souls Of the wicked and the dumb The feelings they are annul That was your life
Half alive You watch the TV as the taxes rise You think they're listening but try this for size They weren't too bothered when the last one died Wire on the souls of the wicked and the dumb Extrapolate then cull That was your life
This is the match of the idle (x4)
Are you alive? Hold your breath and count to 25 Remember cigarettes and moon lit drives And think of me my love ‘till sleep arrives Rest for your soul, you're my heart beyond control My breath, my rock 'n' roll You are my life
This is the match of the idle (x3) It's now the march of the idle
When you find your friend is your rival It shouldn't hurt at all It seems so normal to forget survival Inside we are all animals
This is the match of the idle (x3) It's now there’ll be no revival
This is the match of the idle (x3) It's now a new fucking bible
