lirik lagu the altar/mary – silverstein
[part i: the altar]
[intro: shane told]
i’m feeling ready
[verse 1: shane told]
born into a cage that leads
directly to the slaughter
ritual sacrifice at the altar of
the altar of the f*cking dollar
the machine needs blood
the show must go on
can’t have the upper class
if there’s no one underneath them
sawing through the top rungs before selling you
a chance to climb the corporate ladder
[verse 2: shane told]
at the base of the ivory tower
the bodies pile up
lured you with a future but it won’t exist
shame you for a failure that thеy won’t admit
somebody has to die as a warning to the rеst
shut up and get in line, take what you can get
[verse 3: paul marc rousseau]
oh lord
i wish that i could quit
but the idol in the middle
tends to rule with a fist
i’m not blind
but my hands are tied
i’ll tint my lenses rose
i’m handing people hope
they’d rather make ends meet
than meet their maker with a rope, right?
i’m not satan, just a friend
so i might pay my penance
when i get my dividend
[outro: shane told]
somebody has to die
somebody has to die
somebody has to die
somebody has to die
somebody has to die
die
[part ii: mary]
[verse: shane told]
i say i’m okay but i’ve got a ways to go
both ends of the candle burn the rope
so talk to me, talk to me, i’ve got it bad
forgot what i needed, lost what i had
mary, i feel the devil in this room tonight
i’m fading, i’m a sinner and i can’t stop now
unless i hold my breath long enough to see god
somebody wake me up
’cause i’d rather be anywhere else
and if i don’t come back
you could be my epitaph
i could live in painted glass
just like you (just like you)
