lyrics

The Boys

The boys have had their fun
They drove the party into the ground
They fed and drank like they went to heaven
The victory had to be wholly christened
Fireworks lit up the sky
And thunder tore through the sleepless nights
As one watched through the windowpane and cried…

It is a cold and rainy day
The jamboree died away
No one knows who’s left to clean this up
They didn’t even pick up the tab
It seems to work in such mysterious ways
For no one is in charge of this fray
As one watched through the windowpane and walked away…

This can’t simply disappear
It’ll stick to history like a leech
No matter how hard one tries to rewrite the past
Don’t you worry no more
Help is coming to these shores
With the promise to end the rape and the plunder

The boys have had their fun
They shot the voice or reason down
They rocked and rolled like they owned a brothel
All the while spreading the Gospel
Diamond rings and big cigars
They blew a hole through the ozone layer
As one watched through windowpane and saw them fly…
As one watched through the windowpane and saw them die…
