Don't you read the papers?
We're dead
We're miles and miles from nowhere
Taste the ground, feel the sound
Everybody says that we're dead
Don't you feel that the weight of those words?
Whisper weighs a ton, now
The saturate, the pale parade
Don't you feel the weight of those words?
We are the explanation
We are the consequences
We are the joke of the nation,
but that's all right
Let me lay it out for you now
Believe your bones and bruises
The bridge is burned, the page is turned
No-one's even noticed we're gone
Blessed are the buried alive
The screwed-up and forgotten
You know it's true,
They'll walk on you
Blessed 'em all, you broken and bound
We are the explanation
We are the consequences
We are the joke of the nation,
but that's all right
(x2)
I know where we are
I know what you're thinking
I know where we are
(instrumental break)
Laugh it up and they beat you down
Smile and let the blood flow
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
Laugh it up and they beat you down
We are the explanation
We are the consequences
We are the joke of the nation,
but that's all right
