lyrics

Tongue-tied while I’m perceiving
The evil eye as it watches me
Spend and burn
Like I’m this months’ style worn by last months’ girl

I won’t try to hide it
I’m here to confess I’ve been acquired
Like everyone else you see
By blood and dust and sin and ruin

Oh, if you’ve got a lie well I’m buying
Haven’t you heard the new black is denial?

Twist on the knife all you husbands and wives
Cold is the gun that we give to our sons

The evening will come when the bough will break
And the baby falls naked in the ice-cold lake
As mother screams “I told you so”
We’ll pay our debts by growing old alone

That’s right,
Haven’t you heard the new black is not trying?

Twist on the knife all you husbands and wives
Cold is the gun that we give to our sons
To rape the world for our reward
