Some say you're trouble, boy Just because you like to destroy All the things that bring the idiots joy Well, what's wrong with a little destruction? And the Kunst won't talk to you Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu Because you robbed a supermarket or two Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco? Did I see you in a limousine Flinging out the fish and the unleavened Turn the rich into wine Walk on the mean For the fallen walk among us Walk among us Never judge us Yeah we're all Up now and get 'em, boy Up now and get 'em, boy Drink to the devil and death at the doctors Did I see you in a limousine Flinging out the fish and the unleavened Five thousand users fed today As you feed us Won't you lead us To be blessed So we stole and drank Champagne On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain "I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?" "I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation" In my blood I feel the bubbles burst There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt I fell to the floor fainting at the sight of blood Did I see you in a limousine Flinging out the fish and the unleavened Turn the rich into wine Walk on the mean Be they Magdalene or virgin you've already been You've already been and we've already seen That the fallen are the virtuous among us Walk among us Never judge us to be blessed So I'm sorry if I ever resisted I never had a doubt you ever existed I only have a problem when people insist on Taking their hate and placing it on your name Some say you're trouble, boy Just because you like to destroy You are the word, the word is 'destroy' I break this bottle and think of you fondly Did I see you in a limousine Flinging out the fish and the unleavened To the whore in a hostel Or the scum of a scheme Turn the rich into wine Walk on the mean It's not a jag in the arm It's a nail in the beam On this barren Earth You scatter your seed Be they Magdalene or virgin You've already been Yeah, you've already been We've already seen That the fallen are the virtuous among us Walk among us If you judge us We're all damned
