In The Name Of Tragedy

Were you ever lost, were you ever young
Were you ever safe, little brother?
Do you see the sense of the evidence
Are you still part of the struggle?

Did you bang your head, did you go to bed
Does it still feel pretty funky?
Lay back and dream in the death machine
Pity you still think like a monkey

Bring it up, bring it down til you hit the ground
Got a rude attitude, turn the world around
Shall we see, shall we disagree
Sing it all in the name of tragedy

Did you ever lie, ever wonder why
Nobody believed you, honey?
What a pretty smile, drive the people wild
Wonder who ran off with the money

Do you ever change, is it gonna rain
Will it bring you pennies from heaven?
Do you know the score, are you waiting for
Anxious for the new Armageddon?

Live it up, live it down til we hit the ground
Cop a rude attitude from the world around
Shall we see, shall we disagree
Sing it all in the name of tragedy

Marbles in your mouth, what's it all about
Do you know the name of the winner?
If I was to go, would you let it show
Life is not a TV dinner

If you dream of me, will you ever see
Do you want a piece of the action?
If I wasn't sure, would you do it more
Help me to achieve an erection?

Get it up, get it down til you hit the ground
Cop a rude attitude, turn the world around
Shall we see, shall we disagree
All in the name of tragedy

Sing it loud, sing it out, make the people shout
Get it all, get it on, get it sorted out
Be a seer, be sincere, can you really see
All in the name of tragedy
