The dreamers and the beautiful are damned
in your soft white hands,
You never see it coming
And suddenly they're slumming
I can smell your little Gucci smile
The stench goes on for miles
It's all that smoke you're spreading
All those casual beheadings
I wait for the bang, but it never comes
They say I'm the lucky one
Pistol-whipped,
The world goes black
And I wake up on my back
Again
Ha!
Dance it up, you pretty cardboard freaks
Enjoy your winning streak
'cause when it's up they'll put you down
Six feet under ground
It's amazing how soon everyone forgets
Their precious little pets
When they get too old to sell
They might as well just shoot 'em
I wait for the bang, but it never comes
They say I'm the lucky one
Pistol-whipped,
The world goes black
And I wake up on my back, yeah
I wait for the bang
I wait for the bang,
But it never comes
I hate this game
I wait for the bang, bang, bang
I never dreamed it could be like this
I never dreamed
But you only get one chance to die
You better make it look good
I wait for the bang, but it never comes
They say I'm the lucky one
Pistol-whipped,
The world goes black
And I wake up on my back
Well, I'm shook up,
gagged and bound
And the world comes crashing down
Again
I wait for the bang
I wait for the bang,
But it never comes
I hate this game
I wait for the bang, bang, bang
