Blood is in my eyes Carnadine forget me nots Everybody dies Everybody riots All our lives are in penance And penance is all we've got God is on the news The moribund ol' sot Mad and arabesque Along the riot-lot All our lives are in penance And penance is all we've got It's just a world of hurt For everyone involved Penance for a dream There's nothing fair about it No forgiving traits that I can see We have made ourselves Images of God Can't you tell? Holy polaroid snapshots Of a Summer Spent in Hell The Devil prance around Like the cock of the walk Imitating sounds From the human talk All our lives are in penance And penance is all we've got Love is making noise Once a valiant goal But all the girls & boys Has made the loving foul All our lives are in penance And penance is all we've got
