and  it's too late  to leave  this life behind
everybody's  speaking  using words  they can't define
and  it's not my choice  but i embrace  it nonetheless
you  brag of your indecency  like a monkey  beats its chest
you  brag of your indecency  like a monkey  beats its chest
1st time 2nd time

and  i don't care  who you are  or what you've done
everybody  equals  out when all  the songs are sung
we  will sing them loud  and we will sing them  until we pass
you're  shattering our innocence  like a bullet  through a glass
you're  shattering our innocence  like a bullet  through a glass
so  hey:  i don't care  if you go now  or if you stay
oh  your back  is bleeding, you're bleeding  on me
that'll  be the day when the sun  falls down
 the angels  may weep but i'll hear  no sounds but hey
 Back to intro.
i  take that back  i won't stop singing  when i'm dead
i'll  sing from the great  beyond, i will echo  in your head
and  if you think  taking your life  will set you free
you've  got something  to learn, it's called  humility
you've  got something  to learn, it's called  humility
 Back to Intro:
 Play chorus:
gone!  everybody's  crying
 now you're gone
 and everybody's  missing  you: from apathy  to sympathy
 this new found  love is new  to me
and  i can hear you laughing  in your grave
everyone's  forgiven
 now we're saved
every  single sin  absolved
what's  the point denying
 when we all  know we are lying  to ourselves  (and you  can't keep that smile  off your face)
 Play chorus 2x
 THE END
