lyrics

Falling Apart

It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on the brave
It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on your slaves
It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on the deal
It´s falling apart - it makes no difference how you feel
It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on good advice
It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on being nice

Beauty is dying and so is art
take this matter to your heart
revive your knack for throwing darts
Everything used to happen far away
now it´s closing in and it´s plain as day

It´s nobody´s virtue and everyone´s fault
the machinery will grind to a halt
The sick and the blind will rise from the vault
And suddenly all the future´s gone
The rats are loose and the race is on

It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on the president
It´s falling apart - the error is evident
It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on the sciences
It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on alliances
It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on your book of rules
It´s falling apart - you can´t rely on a bunch of fools

Some get fed, some pay the cost
conmen leave no line uncrossed
Young men aren´t angry, they´re just lost
There´s no concept that will succeed
there´s no ambition, only greed

Some walk in circles and talk to themselves
Some quote from the books on their dusty shelves
Some dance over fire like viscious elves
Some are busy keeping up the charade
Some are driving down the promenade

Suicide warriors fall in sacred strife
they found a higher sense of purpose in life
Flashy pied pipers play their fifes
Some jester ignites his blasting fart
If the play´s the thing you´d better know your part
