Lyrics

I'm told that I'm lazy And I ought to be working But the saints march like soldiers Always staring at the ground Always staring at the ground But the ground don't interest me I'm a man, I was born to be free Born to be free With every new step you move further away And you tell yourself you'll be yourself after payday But before you're broken, you're fragile like a lake And as your eyes find the shimmering light Your face begins to break And it dissolves at the faintest touch The ripples of the question don't count for much 'Cause the boat that holds the problem can't be rocked enough Only a storm of stones to groan and make the waters rough Go build your towers, tumbling through the sky But bees all die early but the honey will survive Yeah, the honey will survive So sweet, you fight to get your feet But now you're done, perhaps you'll die of greed Come on, patriots Oh, come and burn a flag for me In the ashes you'll find what your pride hides behind The myth of an honest country Come on, patriots Come and burn a flag for me In the ashes you'll find what your pride hides behind The myth of an honest country
