Move your body to and fro
Languid in the undertow
Going where the currents go
On the road to ruin

Shoot the lights out of the way
Watch the black and white turn grey
Signposts showing us the way
On the road to ruin

Blame the old
Blame the young
Blame it on the songs we sung
Burning pictures
In burning books
Some Gods they have all the luck

Looking from the outside in
Turns me inside out


Holy rhymes and pledges grave
That one kills and this one saves
You'll have lots of flags to wave
On the road to ruin

We've got karma by the yard
Look who left his calling card
Stay the course and you'll go far
On the road to ruin

Blame the young
Blame the old
Blame it on the lies we told
Burning bridges
Burning flags
Ashes or a body bag

Looking from the outside in
Turns me inside out
