歌詞
[Verse 1]
They are profiting from your worry
They're sellin' blanks down at the D.M.Z.
They're banking on the sound and fury
Makes you wonder what it all's got to do with me
Bloodless for now
[Verse 2]
I'm keeping mine with the altruist
I'm puttin' my weight behind the dancer
I know it's hard to be an optimist
When you trust least the ones who claim to have the answers
[Verse 3]
It's an uncivil war
It's an uncivil war
It's an uncivil war, no
[Verse 4]
(Bloodless for now)
And the poets, they explode like bombs
(Bloodless for now)
The gentry's drinking Moët Chandon
(Bloodless for now)
[Verse 5]
Turn around, quote a well known psalm
Don't you worry 'bout the wicked
Don't you envy those who do wrong
And your innocence will be like the dawn
While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun
[Verse 6]
Well, the best lack all conviction
And the worst keep sharpening their claws
They're peddling in their dark fiction
While what's left of us, well, we just hem and we haw
[Verse 7]
And it feels like 1936
In Catalonia, Lord
In Catalonia, Lord
[Verse 8]
Bloodless for now
Bloodless for now
[Verse 9]
And the poets, they explode like bombs
(Bloodless for now)
The gentry's drinking Moët Chandon
(Bloodless for now)
[Verse 10]
Turn around, quote a well known psalm
Don't you worry 'bout the wicked
Don't you envy those who do wrong
And your innocence will be like the dawn
While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun
