Year: 1989
withered rope you hang what's empty can't remain to put it simply in time cry the hollow words to sing with false disguise smothered hope fly from sorrow for a new divine tomorrow i just don't want to know anymore life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong why don't you care? Life shifts up, down, wrong now do it seem fair? Life shifts up, down, wrong it's not in the rhyme or reason so it goes with every season crawl to top fall through bottom first hand love is really rotten slice of life find what's plenty inch towards a sanctuary light with me inside the womb i know everyone everybody knows it's me it's my voice, my voice cries out obscenity sightless I regard my past sometimes it should i just don't want to know anymore.
life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong (x3)
Why don't you care?
Life shifts up, down, wrong.
Why don't you care?
Why, why why don't you care?
Smothered hope.(x17)
The world's a hell, what does it matter what happens in it? (x3)
The electric chair. (x3)
