Its amazing what you can give up
If you just want to survive
Youll discard cherished convictions
And spread yourself wide for your ravagers
When they approach to defile you
Voyeurs hiding behind the skyline
Peer down at me, but I try to ignore them
They track me through the aisles larded with treasure
And mock me at night when Im begging for silence
Dont want to be held responsible
You can take whatever you want from me
Just make sure I dont notice
You can take whatever you want from me
And the waltzes play on in halls of gold
While the misfortunates slop back and forth
Between the flophouses, clinics and prisons
Until their weight carves ruts in the earth
Dont want to be held responsible
You can take whatever you want from me
Just make sure it doesnt hurt
You can take whatever you want from me
This is the world weve made for ourselves
But our acid abstentions
Will dissolve the limestone beneath us
And when the sinkhole opens up
We wont deserve to be pulled out
Its amazing what you can give up
