You played sapphire to the swine
With his chalices of wine
And his niece who wears your ***** like a crown

All that power has escaped you
Though you toiled all the day through
With the promise of a hummer and a pound

And I don't know what to do for you
I could draw you a picture of the world and a screw
I could've loved you but your dreams are on fire
And your prophet is a banker & a liar

And if their money don't fulfill you
There are medicines that will do
All the thinking for you so you can relax

The poison kiss of easy living
Full of **** and unforgiving
To the [unverified] who rest its burden on their backs

And I don't know what to do for you
I could draw you a picture of the world and a screw
I could've loved you but your dreams are on fire
And your prophet is a banker & a liar

And I don't know what to do for you
I could draw you a picture of the world and a screw
I could've loved you but your dreams are on fire
And your prophet is a banker & a liar
