Babel
Pain is pain is pain I said
The outside's dark, the inside's red
A tower of Babel
Pain is pain is pain.
Blood is blood is blood I know
The darkest red we never show
Just suck it up and swallow whole
Blood is blood is blood.
Guilt is guilt today, tomorrow
Useless, selfish shallow sorrow
A painful pleasure in which we wallow
Guilt is guilt is guilt.
Guilt is guilt is guilt.
Apathy is apathy is apathy, you see
Never mind, you bother me
The world be damned I say to thee!
Apathy is apathy after all.
Thus life is life is life I wrote
A wheel of fortune on which we're broke
From feast or famine we all are bloat
And Atlas, all of us, I note
Life is life is life.
