lyrics

These days you’d better have a head on your shoulders
These days it really pays not to speak your mind
You could say she was an avid student of the human condition
So for her that everything was always gonna be fine

How much is it worth to you this fancy tissue paper?
What is the exchange rate on your soul?
How much is it again? How much is it again?
How much is it again? How much is it again?

What did they expect after twenty years of giving her the runaround
Now she’s carrying a gun around
Life is too cheap these days, all we can hear are tiny buzzing sounds
She’s gonna wear the crown
Get the party down
Carrying a gun around

I’ve taken beatings before but never one I couldn’t even see coming
I never tried to abandon something I had made
How much is it again? How much is it again?
How much is it again? How much is it again?

What did they expect after twenty years of giving her the runaround
Now she’s carrying a gun around
Life is too cheap these days, all we can hear are tiny buzzing sounds
She’s gonna wear the crown
Get the party down
Carrying a gun around

Now you keep on dropping hints, how you’re endlessly enthusiastic
For what tomorrow will bring, the day after that
You know that I...I’ve got to confess that I still just can’t see
How to ameliorate it at all, this weight on our shoulders is making us crawl
Without it we could be so fantastic and real
Ensuring no one again ever has to kneel
We all own it all, there’s really nothing to steal
The wealth of the world is available when
We learn to stop seeing each other as “them”
Just different factors in an equation
The variables are limitless
How aren’t you getting this?
Why aren’t you getting this?

Running around
Running around
Running around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around until we’re screaming out
