Lyrics

Say farewell to your fairweathered friends

And not a second too soon To leave a life among ruins Well there was nothing left but to Cut ourselves loose These fascists and philistines Of violence and fashion These modern day philistines They stand on your hands They stand on my hands Any day now we'll perish These are nervous times


No one can hold a candle to you

When it comes down to virtue and truth

No one can hold a candle to you

And I dim next to you

No one can hold a candle to you

When it comes down to old-fashioned virtue


Kingdom mine

Open your eyes

Make up your mind

Am I Einstein?

Or am I Frankenstein

You said blow them away

To kingdom come

Or will the kingdom be one?


No one can hold a candle to you

When it comes down to virtue and truth

No one, no one can hold a candle to you

And I dim next to you


Hi-ro-shima

Yes yes yes!
