seeking out an honest living soul   checking every body for a pulse   lifting every eyelid for   a glimmer of evil left to give   meaning to meaningless   that much i'd die for   searching through this   body stack for hours,   from the bottom   pride is gone the night   we sink to the bottom   we'll never be one of them      awake. arise.   eat. work. shit. sleep.   awake. arise   awake. arise.   eat. work. shit. sleep.   awake. arise      listen as the chorus marching   union roars like a lion   this old man with hat in hand   just said it:   we built this city on debts and booze      twelve years of debt and i'll be paying it off   with blood and sweat, but it means nothing at all   i'll pay the price   'til i die   and every jaded hero clings to his worth,   in it for paychecks, moving units and merch   but i decline   to ever be one of them      awake. arise.   eat. work. shit. sleep.   awake. arise      listen as the chorus   marching union roars like a lion   this old man with hat in hand   just said it:   we built this city on debts and booze      legs on the ottoman and head in the mosh   sharp like an astronaut but dull as a rock   an angel's sigh:   damn right ; we got a problem now   i'm mimicking the drum fills with my head on the wall   the voice of god comes through the morning alarm   awake. arise. awake. arise.      wake up      i've laughed before but not so heavy as   a fire and brimstone hilarity mass   that said we'll be there for the end of it all   by cutting of the strings we used to pull   and reaching deep for thoughts and ways   to bring us back to better days      'til king and queen pass out drunk off their power,   we'll stand in light of evil eyes forever      we'll be there for the end of it all   awake. arise.   eat. work. shit. sleep.   awake. arise   we'll be there for the end of it all      to stand in light of evil eyes, forever   strangers, at the bottom
