They put angels in the electric chair 
Straight-up angels in the electric chair 

And no-one knew or no-one cared 
But burning stars lit up their hair 
And burning stars lit up their hair
And crawled to heaven on golden stairs 

And oh! How we to and fro! To and fro! To and fro! 

This is our torched estates 
(and we are your sweet mistakes)

And all them vulgar kings on their dirty thrones
Who among us will avenge miss nina simone?

There's fresh meat in the club tonight
God bless our dead marines 

Someone had an accident 
Above the burning trees 
While somewhere distant peacefully 
Our vulgar princes sleep 
Dead kids dont get photographed 
God bless our dead marines 

The hungry and the hanged 
The damaged and the done 
Striving 'long this spinning rock
Tumbling past the sun 
Get through this life without killing anyone 
And consider yourself golden 

Lost a friend to cocaine 
Couple friends to smack 
Troubled hearts map deserts 
And they rarely do come back 
Lost a friend to oceans 
Lost a friend to hills 
Lost a friend to suicide 
Lost a friend to pills 
Lost a friend to monsters 
Lost a friend to shame 
Lost a friend to marriage 
Lost a friend to blame 
Lost a friend to worry and
Lost a friend to wealth 
Lost a friend to stubborn pride 
And then i lost myself 

I love my dog and she loves me 
The world's a mess and so are we 
She tumbles long green muddy fields 
Sick with joy and glee
And as she dreams sweet puppy dreams 
Whimpering gently 

There's fresh meat in the club tonight 
God bless our dead marines 
Someone had an accident 
Above the burning trees 
While somewhere distant peacefully 
Our vulgar princes sleep 
Dead kids dont get photographed 
God bless this century 

When the world is sick can't no one be well 
But i dreamt we was all beautiful and strong
