lyrics

We'll find a new way, to flog that old gray mare,
Don't bury the broken body too deep, accomplices will all be there.
And clocks are shaped like circles, wait and time will roll around.
Stab your shining shovels into unremembered ground.
And though the digging's different, every ditch the same.
Excavate that nag once more and give him your backhand.
All this dirt is too good to be kept within a vacuum,
Dump it out and spread it around in front of loaded cameras.
It's painful, it's tragic, to lose someone this way,
And is the lighting just right? I think we'll make the cover this May.
Get horsey all dolled up and teach him some new tricks.
And when those just don't seem to work we'll break his bones
With stones and sticks and “this calf is young and she'll suck,
The others are too old.” The bulls are placing all the bids,
The auctioneer's been sold.
 
And cut it, print it, of course they'll buy it.
Coffee is now Cappucine,
You were more interesting (if not quiet)
Before old habits became new routines.
