Lyrics
you're gonna get what you deserve, what's going round
recycled shit that they think will make you jump up and down
if you had dreams of something new they won't escape your room
the show came to town and stayed, won't go too soon
nobody wants to be the first to let go
nobody wants to be the first to let go
nobody wants to be the first to let go
safe and warm, stroke the back of an old familiar
haven't I seen this too many times before
I know you can count the tales to tell on your two hands
but the details shrink and there's no room here to expand
nobody wants to be the first to let go
nobody wants to be the first to let go
nobody wants to be the first to let go
see a pig on a spit over fire
see it spit see it hiss and mammon piss himself
at all the crap we're taking, mistakes we keep on making and all the time we're wasting in the name of making bacon
nobody wants to be the first to let go
nobody wants to be the first to let go
nobody wants to be the first to let go
