You're the Emperor's new horse You don't smell like a rose So you take more drugs than me Specialise in being unhappy Like a moth into the flame Yeah I've been burnt before Rub his ashes on my skin And some day we will win In this time, there are those who rob us blind They sing through golden teeth Bring on the new meat I'm guilty too Maybe someday I'll learn What's your fucking name? Don't look too concerned Don't abondon truth In this time, there are those who rob us blind They sing through golden teeth Bring on the new meat Being angry is your game Overdosing's part of fame So you read all this french symbolist poetry Don't even get it on the fucking BBC I don't really care no more Boring out the door I don't know what's true It don't affect you That's right damn lies above In this time, there are those who rob us blind They sing through golden teeth Bring on the new meat Bring on the new meat Bring it on, baby bring it on | |
