Take a picture at the Gallows Pole The Atlantic below Cause we're singing on a sinking ark Getting ready to go Then it's bombs away every day Swinging like a baseball bat I hate to be the one to tell you this But, somebody's got to say it This one fights sociopaths This one fights the Devil Another day, a torrent of disappointment Ripping through my mind Most of the time damnations and accusations Drift in and out of view Pointed at me, pointed at you Whatever happened to the era I imagined? Fuck all your lips and your cheekbones Whatever happened to the era I imagined? Fuck all your lips and your cheekbones Whatever happened to the era I imagined? I can't even begin to express my distress Fuck all your lips and your cheekbones Whatever happened to the era I imagined? What went wrong nowhere, man? The sun came up, a tragedy All around, don't look down Chin up, bravery Where is the era of strength and integrity? Don't look down You can't go back the way you came Full speed ahead You can't go back the way you came Full speed ahead
