As you pour yourself a scotch 
Crush a roach or check your watch 
As your hands adjust your tie people die 

In the towns with funny names 
Hit by bullets, caughts in flames 
By and large not knowing why people die 

And in small places you don't know of 
Yet big for having no chance to scream 
Or say good-bye people die 

Chorus La la... 
Let me know 

People die as you elect 
New apostles of neglect, self restraint 
Whereby people die 
Too far off to practice love 
For they neighbor, brother Slav 
Where your cherubs dread to fly people die 

Chorus La la... 
Let me know 

While the statues disagree 
Cain's version, history for its fuel tends to buy 
Those who die 

As you watch the athletes score 
Or check your latest statement 
Or sing your child a lullaby people die 

Time, whose sharp, bloodthirsty quill 
Parts the killed from those who kill 
Will pronounce the latter tribe 
As your type
