[Verse 1]
It's not your promises that I don't respect
They're cold comfort when I'm wrecked
Reaching blindly out for you
I've heard it said at least a thousand times before
"Just keep knocking at the door of opportunity"
[Chorus]
I'm the weak one now
And I don't need your sacred cows
It's hard to drink the dreams
Mingled ashes and the might-have-beens
Kill the spirit, assail the flesh
We amuse ourselves to death
Holy words on bated breath
Lose their meaning, 20th century
Shut up
[Accordion Solo]
Oh!
[Chorus]
I'm the weak one now
And I don't need your sacred cows
It's hard to drink the dreams
Mingled ashes and the might-have-beens
Kill the spirit, assail the flesh
We amuse ourselves to death
Holy words on bated breath
Lose their meaning, 20th century
Shut up
It's not your promises that I don't respect
They're cold comfort when I'm wrecked
Reaching blindly out for you
I've heard it said at least a thousand times before
"Just keep knocking at the door of opportunity"
[Chorus]
I'm the weak one now
And I don't need your sacred cows
It's hard to drink the dreams
Mingled ashes and the might-have-beens
Kill the spirit, assail the flesh
We amuse ourselves to death
Holy words on bated breath
Lose their meaning, 20th century
Shut up
[Accordion Solo]
Oh!
[Chorus]
I'm the weak one now
And I don't need your sacred cows
It's hard to drink the dreams
Mingled ashes and the might-have-beens
Kill the spirit, assail the flesh
We amuse ourselves to death
Holy words on bated breath
Lose their meaning, 20th century
Shut up
