There's a shadow on the bodies Of the kids that we all grew up adoring Can you whisper, can you stutter Can you breathe whilst the smog climbs through our mountains?
This is bleeding us dry, this is cutting us up We're the kids who see the world as an empty cup With a death note and a black stare And a pardon from a government that doesn't care
We sleep, our locks are picked apart and analyzed
Here's your weapon, here's your secret Here's the pieces of the puzzles you have hidden Here's your money, here's your gun Here's the funeral you've earned only son
Well, we're all drinking alone, we're all singing a tune We're the kids in the blacked out hospital rooms With the lights on and our eyes shut As the bricks and the timber fall around us
We sleep our locks are picked apart and analyzed
Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up the damn phone There's a chance we'll make it tonight Run on, run on, run on, this is an island Not a tomb for the likes of you and I
Yeah, we've got the pigs skin Yeah, we split the atom Yeah, we lost the one good thing we made
Yeah, we're drinking alone, yeah, we're singing a tune We're the kids in the blacked out hospital rooms With the lights on and our eyes shut As the bricks and the timber fall around us
See that bitch swing, fucking treason Split the atom, split it
