All This

Cool it down or heads will roll
Shut yr mouth and shut yr mind to save yr soul
You got it good, you just don't know
At least you tell yrself that's so
In darkened rooms, on bended knees
Yr praising god and making enemies
And all our lives evaporate like rain
And all our lies come rushing up again
And we all try to laugh away the pain
But all this isn't funny anymore
And we all do the best we can
But the hammer falls, the hammer falls on random man
And every resident, every president and every little king
Believes they're doing the righ thing
Still there's no justice and there's no peace
Well, that tells me something about belief
And all our lives evaporate like rain
And all our lies come rushing up again
And we all try to laugh away the pain
But all this isn't funny anymore
Yeah, we're all doomed and the end is nigh
So let's go out back and all get high
Let's have babies and let's drive drunk
Stash the bodies in the trunk
Let's write movies and let's write songs
We've all got rights to commit these wrongs
And all our lives evaporate like rain
And all our lies come rushing up again
And we all try to laugh away the pain
But all this isn't funny anymore
(from the CD "My Bloody Hootenanny")
