long live the scene

Welcome to my torture box
My own infernal equinox
Welcome to the welfare state
Slowly I disintegrate
Welcome to my torture box
I have seen the death of me
Flashing lights from out to sea
I have waited for you here
With everything that you hold dear
Fought my way through the crowded war
I’ve got angst and a couple of chords
Napoleon went off his wire
Shot his wad in fields of fire
By the time the priest rushed in
Wasn’t too much left of him
Napoleon went off his wire
Make a fist and feel the rage
Paranoia knows no age
Children always suffer most
Father, Son, to Holy Ghost, yeah
Fought my way through the cellar door
I’ve got angst and a couple of chords
I’ll have my hair dyed turquoise green
Cheapest guitar in the magazine
I’ll douse my words in sweet caffeine
Every day will be Halloween
But I love my job
Hell yes, I love my job
Full time circus freak
Example of what not to do
Classic heart and soul
Skeleton hands reach out for you, yeah
Fought my way through the cement floor
I’ve got angst and a couple of chords
I was once too young to ignore
We’ll be young forevermore
Long live
Long
