"Holocaust" lyrics
(originally by Big Star)
Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep
You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror
You look in your eyes
Then you realize
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your airs
Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid"
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep
You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror
You look in your eyes
Then you realize
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your airs
Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid"
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust
