did it ever bother you
these creatures never die
their features never fade
they lead the dead parade

it's a wonderful, a wonderful life
rich and wasted and you're never gonna die
when you own the whole damn pie
and 99.9% of the fucking sky

they sit at the head
of the table of the dread
they pick the carcass clean
and crawl to their machines

it's a wonderful, a wonderful life
rich and wasted and you're never gonna die
when you own the whole damn pie
and 99.9% of the fucking sky

they prowl the streets at night
standing just outside the light
peering from the mists
all genitals and fists

it's a wonderful, a wonderful life
rich and wasted and you're never gonna die
when you own the whole damn pie
and 99.9% of the fucking sky

did it ever bother you
the things you let them do
the life you let them make
the deals you let them break

you realise too late
that it was you who made them great
it was you who gave them leave
to corrupt and to deceive

they stand at the prow
the prow of the ship
and slathering and lathering
and leathering and weathering
again you realise too late
that you are never, ever, ever untethering

it's a wonderful, a wonderful life
rich and wasted and you're never gonna die
when you own the whole damn pie
and 99.9% of the fucking sky
it's a wonderful, a wonderful life
rich and wasted and you're never gonna die
when you own the whole damn pie
and 99.9% of the fucking sky
99.9......99.9......99.9........
