lyrics

The butchers, they come in zeros and ones
Behind digital smiles, under store-bought sun
Themselves the youth have fooled it seems,
This generation of words on a screen

Chorus
So, here's to a murder industry
Some bridges ain't worth the kerosene

The professional smiles of whores and liars
Are raking them in and breaking them buyers
I'm dropping the dime 'cause I know what I've seen,
So stick another quarter in the funeral machine

Chorus
And here's to a murder industry
Some bridges ain't worth the kerosene

Frozen, paralyzed in time
Sing a lullaby for the parts that died
Wake me when they're ready to buy

Obscene mob scene,
Reckoning day,
Cry me a river and wash us away.
Throw in the towel
'Cause you know what I mean,
Well, it ain't worth the fight,
No, it ain't worth the scene

Chorus
So, here's to the murder industry
Some bridges ain't worth the kerosene
