Terrible Things Lyrics

M. David Chapman shakes and hovers in the shadows of the Dakota hearing voices, one of which will never sing again when this is over

Terrible things
Terrible things, they are gonna happen
Quite often, there is nothing that you can do to stop them

Idi Amin is born in '25
A bouncing baby
Decimation
Boxing career gives him the sad idea to bludgeon his own nation

Terrible things
Terrible things, they are gonna happen
And sometimes there is nothing that you can do to stop them

But you got your fear on permanent loan
Some crazy fear on permanent loan, alone

Send it back

Evil loves the averted stare and the subsidy of silence
Empathy and dissent: The catholicons for violence

Terrible things
Terrible things, they are gonna happen
And sometimes there is a lot you can do to stop them

You got your fear on permanent loan
Some useless fear on permanent loan, alone

Send it back

M. David Chapman shakes and shivers in the shadows of the Dakota hearing voices, one of which will never sing again

Terrible things
Terrible things, they are gonna happen

This records over, so why not go outside and stop them?
