lyrics

Well it's dry in Reno, its dry in Spain
I fear I'll never see the rain again
It’s hot in hell, its hotter up here still
we'll just act like we always had the will

Will I be sorry? Will I regret?
buyer’s remorse on crystal meth,
I lose my will and I lose my way.
it's too surreal to be real anyway

And I know, we’ll be the ones to ask why
and I know, we’ll set the world on fire

I’ll burn for money, I’ll burn for coal,
I’ll burn for the cost of saving my sole
I’ll burn for the chance just to have nothing to do
I’ll burn for you, babe you know I will

Now I find beauty in the strangest things,
I have learnt to accommodate,
little bags with smaller bags in still,
perfect for blocking oil spills

And I know...

The mother we never knew that we had
a mother for the lonely, for the good, for the bad,
I can't look, but I can't look away,
I can’t bear to see her in this way

Well it’s death to the winners, death to the losers,
death to sinners, to the long-line-choosers
death to the liars, to the climate deniers
death to me and you, no matter what we do

And I know…
