The Good Times

Now that I can see the light

From the dark side of the day

We’re the vandals on the grave

We’re the fornicating Reich

You can plant a kiss on a lie

But it’s the same old ugly face

And I don’t think I can

Co-star in this charade anymore

I don’t wanna be the reason

You’re unsatisfied

I’m a soldier for the good times

Like a sun in rainy season

More or less I’ve tried

I’m a soldier for the good times

So we blew our chance at Eden

For a wasteland Kingless throne

We were beautiful and dumb

But our words soon turned to stone

Sorry’s all but just five letters

To the porters and the maids

No amount of clean and brightening

Makes this stain go away

I don’t wanna be the reason

You’re unsatisfied

I’m a soldier for the good times

Like a sun in rainy season

More or less I’ve tried

I’m a soldier for the good times

Can’t you hear that penny fall

On the good times

Death by a thousand
