Album: The Artist In The Ambulance
Year: 2003
Paint the target, we don't need no evidence
Flood the market, we do it all in self defense
You're a smart kid, never work without your gloves
If you're a smart kid, you'll stay the hell away from love
And if it comes to murder, don't tell and we won't ask you
How you sleep at night when the lights go out
And you're all alone with all the ghosts of lesser humans
Whose lives you've spilt to suit your own
Sit and think of all the dollars and the cents
And your blue blood, you'll see it all makes perfect sense
Drink from this cup, a better life awaits us all
You're one of us, remember conscience comes before the fall
Your actions all are justified
Your actions all are justified
And if it comes to murder, don't tell and we won't ask you
How you sleep at night when the lights go out
And you're all alone with all the ghosts of lesser humans
Whose lives you've spilt to suit your own
'Cause it's need to know
We are need to know
We don't need to know
Don't we all know life is sacred?
Don't we all know we bleed the same red blood?
