Sweet Billy Pilgrim
Bloodless Coup
He wipes clean slatesThe tearful diplomat who negotiatesThe end of all beginningsHapless and humble nowHe stumbles from a building putting fires outAnd runs and runs awayWhat's to overthrowWhen everything you know's corruptedNo matter what you doChorus:You're never going to make it rightYou're never going to feel alive'Til you're defeated and brokenYou're never going to make it upIt's never going to be enoughTo turn it all roundWe fall down againTake heart and lose faceIt's easier to breathe when the declaration's madeAnd flags are loweredIt burns like paper boatsHe swallows every promise like an antidote'Til lips are numb with hopeSongtexteAnd who's to overthrowWhen power makes us so indifferentNo matter what you doHow's it going to feel when the doors give wayWhat you going to see when the light can't find youWhat you going to do when the pennies dropWhen you look up and it's all behind you
