Attrition

Soundgarden

Lay here under bombast and gloom
 A parade of ghouls marches by
 Headed down to Nero's tomb
 Raising flags and burning rights

Warm yourself by a god-made fire
 Pinocchio with spinning eyes
 Laugh aloud under bomb-lit skies
 A victim's smile never lies

You have always lived your life like a joke with no time
 What you gonna do about it until you get the punch line right?

On the cliff above stormy waves
 Can't decide to climb or drown
 Up is folly and down disgrace
 Under thumbs over written
 The ladder is poison have to find a new way around

What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it?
 What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it?

You have always lived your life like a joke with no time
 You have always lived your life like a joke with no time
