You Can't Buy Back the Dead

Marketing new miracles to keep us off the streets Some fall by the wayside uninvited to the feast Welcome home the vulture men to pick the bodies clean Cover up and sanitise the cruel and the obscene But you can't take it with you Or pay god to forgive you You can't buy back the dead and gone No you can't take it with you Or pay god to forgive you The war machine still rumbles on Human vermin fighting over rotting meat Top dogs in designer clothes delight in their deceit Make god in your likeness, stifle intellect Arrogance is worshipped in the gutter press Carve up other countries with your butcher's knife Who cares when the profit justifies the price But you can't take it with you Or pay god to forgive you You can't buy back the dead and gone Enough's never enough Absolute power will corrupt The war machine still rumbles on No you can't take it with you Or pay god to forgive you You can't buy back the dead and gone
