Lyrics The Slackers

The Slackers

Sing Your Song

Wash out my apathetic mouth dear

With the whiskey of your kiss

There's no tapestry of words here

Just spiders webs of hit or miss

If you've insanity for reason

Or of excuses had your fill

I say your name 'cause no one else does

I'll sing this song 'cause no one will

Your mouth it creaks when I open it

It sucked the breath from deep inside

Your voice I fear it's too low for it

It seeks a place where it can hide

I wipe the dust from your open book

Shed a tear for your pride

I say your name 'cause no one else does

I cry the tear that no one cried

How I long for the animals

Clear inhuman simple minds

Left to rot with the carcasses

Of all the lives you've left behind

Did you wonder why the vultures

Sit among us as we dine

I say your name 'cause no one else does

I sing this song like it was mine

I say your name 'cause no one else does

I say your name 'cause no one else does

I sing this song 'cause no one cares

I see the light is softly fading

Upon the mountain of their stares

I hear the calling of a village

And torches lighted for the kill

I say your name 'cause no one else does

I'll sing this song 'cause no one will

I say your name 'cause no one else does

I sing this song 'cause no one will

I say your name 'cause no one else does

I sing this song 'cause no one will
