Say farewell to your fair weathered friends
And not a second too soon to leave a life among ruins
Well there was nothing left but to cut ourselves loose
These fascists and philistines of violence and fashion
These modern day philistines, they stand on your hands
They stand on my hands any day now we'll perish
These are nervous times
No one can hold a candle to you
When it comes down to virtue and truth
No one can hold a candle to you
And I dim next to you
No one can hold a candle to you
When it comes down to old-fashioned virtue
Kingdom mine, open your eyes, make up your mind
Am I Einstein or am I Frankenstein?
You said blow them away to kingdom come
Or will the kingdom be one?
No one can hold a candle to you
When it comes down to virtue and truth
No one, no one can hold a candle to you
And I dim next to you
Hiroshima
Yes, yes, yes
