lyrics

VERSE 1: Praise your wins and ignore your losses,
Confess your sins and bear your crosses
Always stay a step ahead of your rival
Stab him in the back as you quote the Bible

CHORUS 1: But it don’t matter no how, there ain’t
no turning back now, Looks like we’ve reached our
high noon, looks like all mankind is doomed

VERSE 2: Nowadays a man’s just the money he makes
Expected to give but not to take,
Never gonna get what you need,
Your right to poverty’s been guaranteed

CHORUS 2: But it don’t matter no how,
there ain’t no turning back now,
Rich and poor drown themselves in booze,
Some tried to win, now all must lose.

VERSE 4: Come on, everybody, now into the streets,
Punch with your fist and kick with your feet
Body hits cement and bacteria decays it
The end is at hand and we can’t delay it.

CHORUS 4: But it don’t matter no how,
there ain’t no turning back now,
Soon there won’t be nothing left to sell,
what could have been heaven turned out to hell.

Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
