A Crack In Melancholy Time

I lean on the fence

And you squat in the middle

And we wait 'til the stream runs dry.

Though you don't see the sense

And we can't solve the riddle,

It's amazing how time flies.

And we hear the children calling.

We agree that it's appalling...

But it's best to keep on stalling.

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out...

Now there's blood on my hands

And I'm wearing a muzzle

So I'll look the other way.

Place my head in the sand

Let the rest solve the puzzle,

Think about just who's to blame.

'Cause I hear the children weeping...

And I see the virus creeping...

History is repeating.

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out...

Now there's chains 'round my neck

And my head's in the oven

And the crowd kicks at my door.

And you're leading the pack

Under wraps, undercover...

'Cause you need to win this war.

You put up your flag and kissed it

With your black volcanic lipstick.

And I'm simply your statistic...

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out...

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out

Count me out...
