Some bite the bullet, they'll take anything they're given
And they'll give you back a toothless grin
Other people want whatever they want
And they want to see their red blood pour
The girl with the telephone makes a call
Calls to say we shouldn't talk anymore
Another bullet is bit and in silence we sit
I can see the line here is drawn
[Chorus]
This is not a pleasant conversation
Everybody knows it's okay to chat
In the year '08, when the culture vultures
Sit at the tables wearing their hats
[Verse 2]
I sit at home trying to organise a boat
So I can ship my soul to Galileo
The costume on the bed, that's a block over my head
And I guess you'll see my red blood pour
Some wear the badge and they ruin the game
Because they shine it in your right-wing face
Oh, you come around and you save the day
You take all my worries away
[Chorus]
This is not a pleasant conversation
Everybody knows it's okay to chat
In the year '08, when the culture vultures
Sit at the tables wearing their hats
[Bridge]
I wipe blood on my hands
I am glad, I once was sad
I wipe blood on my hands
I am glad, I once was sad
[Outro]
Other people want what everybody wants
And they want to see my red blood pour
[Verse 1] Some bite the bullet, they'll take anything they're given And they'll give you back a toothless grin Other people want whatever they want And they want to see their red blood pour The girl with the telephone makes a call Calls to say we shouldn't talk anymore Another bullet is bit and in silence we sit I can see the line here is drawn [Chorus] This is not a pleasant conversation Everybody knows it's okay to chat In the year '08, when the culture vultures Sit at the tables wearing their hats [Verse 2] I sit at home trying to organise a boat So I can ship my soul to Galileo The costume on the bed, that's a block over my head And I guess you'll see my red blood pour Some wear the badge and they ruin the game Because they shine it in your right-wing face Oh, you come around and you save the day You take all my worries away [Chorus] This is not a pleasant conversation Everybody knows it's okay to chat In the year '08, when the culture vultures Sit at the tables wearing their hats [Bridge] I wipe blood on my hands I am glad, I once was sad I wipe blood on my hands I am glad, I once was sad [Outro] Other people want what everybody wants And they want to see my red blood pour Explain Request ×
