lyrics

Kids have gone to school, unusual and cruel
Leave a message, go away

The house is full of stuff
Don’t you think we’ve got enough?
You buy like you’ve been bought
You move like you’ve been caught
On this Death Valley day

It’s gonna get darker before it gets brighter
Gonna be bad before it’s alright
Dump it in the trash, throw it all away
Gonna be flying up through the sky
Hand in hand while the sinners all fry
So it is written, get out of our way

Cable’s down again
Build a monument to pain
They started using sex like pills and cigarettes
It’s a Death Valley day

Wonder how things might have been
If we hadn’t been so mean
Saying what you mean & meaning what you say
On a Death Valley day

Fall down on your knees
Before the figure on the screen
His eyes and suit and hair are grey

He’s asking you to pay
On this Death Valley day
