Lyrics

[Intro] La, la, la-la-la, la La-la-la, la, la, la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la [Verse 1] So they say you're troubled, boy Just because you like to destroy All the things that bring the idiots joy Well, what's wrong with a little destruction? And the Kunst won't talk to you 'Cause you kissed St Rollox adieu 'Cause you robbed a supermarket or two Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco? [Pre-Chorus] Did I see you in a limousine? Fling out the fish and the unleavened? Turn the rich into wine, you walk on the mean [Chorus] Well, the fallen are the virtuous among us Walk among us, never judge us To be blessed [Verse 2] Up now and get 'em, boy Up now and get 'em, boy Drink to the devil and death at the doctors [Pre-Chorus] Did I see you in a limousine? Fling out the fish and the unleavened? Well, five-thousand users fed today Oh, as you feed us, won't you lead us To be blessed? [Verse 3] So we stole and drank champagne On the seventh seal, you said you never feel pain "I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?" "I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation" In my blood, I felt bubbles burst A flash of fist, an eyebrow burst You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt I fall to the floor, fainting at the sight of blood [Pre-Chorus] Did I see you in a limousine? Fling out the fish and the unleavened? Turn the rich into wine, you walk on the mean Magdalene or virgin, you've already been You've already been, and we've already seen [Chorus] That the fallen are the virtuous among us Walk among us, never judge us Yeah, we're all [Bridge] La, la-la-la La, la-la-la La-la, la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la [Verse 4] So I'm sorry if I ever resisted I never had a doubt you ever existed I only have a problem when the people insist Taking their hate, placing it on your name So they say you're troubled, boy Just because you like to destroy You are the word, the word is 'destroy' I break this bottle, think of you fondly [Pre-Chorus] Did I see you in a limousine? Fling out the fish and the unleavened? Turn the rich into wine, you walk on the mean To the whore in the hostel, the scum of the scheme Like a jag in the arm, it's a nail in the beam On the barren Earth, you scatter your seed Be they Magdalene or virgin, you've already been You've already been, we've already seen [Chorus] That the fallen are the virtuous among us Walk among us, oh, if you judge us Then we're all Damned
