"Dropping Like Flies" lyrics

A war zone in the streets, it's anarchy and siege
We hope it goes away, graffiti on the walls in modern Babylon, nothing left to save
Ooh, feel the rebels heed
Revolution undermines belief
My eyes have seen this shit before
We're barely hanging by the skin of our teeth
We've all raped it, the future's wasted
We can't save it now

Oh, we're dropping; like flies
Bye, bye
You're dropping like flies

Hate is growing fast in a hazy cloud of crack, but it helps us fade away
Some inner city queen French kisses his disease with one foot in the grave
Oh, and this junkyard we call home is primed and ready for another war
My, my, my, the children have no chance and these eyes have seen this all go down before
We've all raped it, the future's wasted
Can we take it?
Is nothing sacred?
We can't save it now, yeah. I woke up late in a fresh-dug grave with a conscience in my brain
I'm not here to save your world, but mine won't stay the same

Oh, my, my, we're dropping like flies
Bye, bye, bye bye. You're dropping like flies
We've all raped it, the future's wasted
We can't save it
Can you face it?
Selfish living selfish love
Can you face it?
Can you face it, my son?
Oh, my son, yeah
Hey!
