They Can Bleed

Waitress

Be very careful, children
These angels are the beasts
They come riding savage monsters
With shiny white teeth

Don't listen to their language
Turn eyes from their fleet
We have captive, one such angel
And despite what you all think

They can bleed
They can bleed
I said, they can bleed
So make 'em fucking bleed

Round up the rabble and get 'em fat
Herd 'em like cattle and treat 'em like rats
From the beginning, a cardinal sigh
Tell me we're winning and then I can die

Children, please be wary
These monsters are not friends
The doctors warned about this
Their beginning is our end

Their tongues are made of silver
They make wither every seed
Our roots, they try to sever
But remember, just remember

They can bleed
I said, they can bleed
Oh, they can bleed
So make 'em fucking bleed

Tonight I drink chocolate
In the fresh shade of the first tree of the world
We die knowing that memory cannot be burned

And when its little paper houses are burned
Memory finds refuge in mouths that sing
The glories of men and of gods
Songs that stay on from people to people
And in bodies that dance to the sound of palm trees

Come on, come on, come on

They can bleed
I said, they can bleed
Oh, they can bleed
So make 'em fucking bleed (here we come again)
Round up the rabble and get 'em fat
Herd 'em like cattle and treat 'em like rats
From the beginning, a cardinal sigh
Tell me we're winning and then I can die

These wild dogs in this wilderness of Northern America
Only want you for your hair and your filth
And they're gonna kill us all
Even themselves
