Rebel Without Applause

Sound the bells and take to the streets in arms

We're descending fast, a pox on your house of cards

Dry your eyes, your daughters have lost their faith

And started feeding upon the bait that we wear on our sleeve

Promise us you won't tell the public

The fury with which we despoil

I got a wife and kids and a hybrid car

I got a good life, I can't risk losing

If you can keep it a secret

Then me and the boys will bring pale hell to this town

We're trouble bound and we summon the devil electric

Prey on the faint of heart

We sing praise of the rebels who went by the book

Gravitate to teenagers artlessness

And sing it aloud the content is trivial

Its pillow talk plagiarized by the gadgets of lust

Just go to sleep, leave the gestures and customs to us

Cry fraud and let play the anthem of war

Cry fraud and let play the anthem of war

Boys stand your ground

Keep delicate fingers but wrath in your white knuckled grip

The film is loaded and it's aimed at the whites in their eyes

You put out to get in

And we slipped right past the guards in the belly of a horse

And we sunk our fangs into the pulp of a desperate angst

We're powerless just until we're invited inside

If you can keep it a secret

Then me and the boys will bring pale hell to this town

We're trouble bound and we summon the devil electric

Prey on the faint of heart

We owe thanks to the rebels who went by the book

Don't give up the ship

Don't give up the ship

We'd rather sink than admit it

Don't give up the ship

We only have one night in town

We only have one night in town
