Nihilist Groove
Lyrics by Big Ugly Jim
So God looks down at Adam and he gestures to the tree
He says, "Boy, don't touch the bloody fruit or you'll have to deal with me."
Adam the pure and sinless one agreed there on the spot
We all know how the story ends so what hope have got
I'd fight for you, I'd die for you, I'd suffer and I'd steal
I know it isn't moral but that's just the way I feel
So many mistakes that I have made so many times I've failed
Don't we deserve the moment here before the ship sets sail
I've waited and I've held out home when hope should long have died
There's nothing they can do to me that's worse that what's inside
I've dreamed and prayed a thousand prayers but nothing ever came
The word's a joke to God's own ear to drive the man insane
I'm cold now and I'm lonely with another silent night
Wishing you were here with me to set the nighttime right
I'm broken and my mind is gone and all I had to say
Was trapped here in this empty song with only me to blame
So swing your partner round and round and try to look the part
Understand that fitting in is just another form of art
But when you see this smile on me I hope it sends a chill
Fear me, child, because tonight I think perhaps I will
There's something in you something that I want to comprehend
But when you're here I don't know how and so I just pretend
When everything you want in life is always out of sight
You wonder if it's really wrong or if it's just polite.
