[01:04.26]road to joy
[01:21.27]The sun came up with no conclusions
[01:24.01]Flowers sleepin' in their beds
[01:27.30]The city cemetary's hummin'
[01:30.99]I'm wide awake, its mornin'
[01:35.93]I have my drugs, I have my woman
[01:39.32]they keep away my loneliness
[01:42.26]My parents, they have their religion
[01:45.47]But sleep in seperate houses
[01:50.87]I read the body count out of the paper
[01:57.42]And now its written all over my face
[02:03.20]No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
[02:09.47]Sometimes thats just the most comfortable place
[02:16.47]So I'm drinkin, breathin, writin, singin
[02:19.43]Every day I'm on the clock
[02:22.30]My mind races with all my longings
[02:25.82]But can't keep up with what I got
[02:30.41]And so I hope I dont sound too ungratefull
[02:34.37]Well, history gave modern man
[02:37.30]A telephone to talk to strangers
[02:40.41]Machine guns and a camera lense
[02:44.97]So when you're asked to fight a war thats over nothing
[02:51.71]Its best to join the side thats gonna win
[02:59.07]No ones sure how all of this got started
[03:03.26]But we're gonna make 'em God damn certain how its gonna end
[03:07.60]Oh yah we will, oh yah we will!
[03:58.92]Well I could have been a famous singer
[04:02.57]If I had some one else's voice
[04:05.29]But failures always sounded better
[04:08.87]Let's fuck it up boys, make some noise!
[04:23.19]The sun came up with no conclusions
[04:26.44]Flowers sleepin' in their beds
[04:29.18]The city cemetary's hummin'
[04:32.20]I'm wide awake, its mornin'!
