Heroin blood money
It's our economy
American businessman
Your pockets are so dirty
Investing in:
Investing in disease
Keeping the masses ignorant
Keeping them on their knees
Day stars sparkling
On the pacific waters
Children on the rocks
Mimicking their fathers
The sun it dips away
Moving back behind the clouds
Then it returns to say:
That he is so proud
He is so proud
Speaking loud and clearly
Yet making not a sound
The wind surrounds
The cold brushes your face
Teasing you
Making you long for warmth
The sun it shines so brightly
You are taking off your coat
Then the cold returns
It teases you some more
Stomping on the rocks
Children sharing innocent talks
A shadow starts to move in
Radiating sin
Walk the tracks to the swing and play with me
Please come on and tell me you are not so cowardly
Oh! The time that we could have swinging in the trees
With the birds and bees (just you and me)
A conversation: Ey man you seen that place by the train tracks down on the coast? Yeah you walk like three miles down along the rocks to Acid Town. Acid Town? Yeah Acid Town. It's fucked up. You can get there goin' down 88th street. 88th street? That's right by my house. Yeah I was gonna go there today. Actually we should all go sometime. Go to Acid Town.
Three thousand baptised in flame
No tombs to carry their names
The ones that died in vain
Rogue empire gone insane
Falling in towrds their own shadows
Staight ahead and narrow
They come upon the gallows
Call me not your modern son
For I am not a child of the gun
