When We Are Dead Lyrics

I hurt you snapping - I do snap a lot
Patience is fragile, but would you guess what?
The old are nearly dead
And history is in their heads

I'm running from someone and I am not me
Searching the mall for a safe place to be
I hobble to a store
The ghost is gone... it slides the door

You will sing more importance
When you're dead

Society is a vision of war
My best company is a stain on the floor
Mystery remains
But only in computer games

She's joshing me surely, the mosquito brain
Distracted me - I drifted out of the lane
Girls, girls love the men
And teenage boys just make pretend

You will sing more importance
When you're dead
Can you design the perfect bridge to home?
I want to be fired for sex on the job
Truth is subjective -
'Twas her that I loved!

The old are nearly dead
And history is in their heads

...And they're dead.
