There's a shadow on the bodies
Of the kids that we all grew up adoring
Can you whisper, can you stutter
Can you breathe whilst the smog climbs through our mountains?

This is bleeding us dry, this is cutting us up
We're the kids who see the world as an empty cup
With a death note and a black stare
And a pardon from a government that doesn't care

We sleep, our locks are picked apart and ****yzed

Here's your weapon, here's your secret
Here's the pieces of the puzzles you have hidden
Here's your money, here's your gun
Here's the funeral you've earned only son

Well, we're all drinking alone, we're all singing a tune
We're the kids in the blacked out hospital rooms
With the lights on and our eyes shut
As the bricks and the timber fall around us

We sleep our locks are picked apart and ****yzed

Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up the damn phone
There's a chance we'll make it tonight
Run on, run on, run on, this is an island
Not a tomb for the likes of you and I

Yeah, we've got the pigs skin
Yeah, we split the atom
Yeah, we lost the one good thing we made

Yeah, we're drinking alone, yeah, we're singing a tune
We're the kids in the blacked out hospital rooms
With the lights on and our eyes shut
As the bricks and the timber fall around us

See that ***** swing, ***king treason
Split the atom, split it
