lyrics

I turned a page to find a way
To have some fun
To have some fun
That second stage overt display
There's nothing new
Under the sun

There's nothing left but a great big hole
Show me some trees
Come on, just one
A poison gas blue blood soup bowl
A war fought for
Mother Nature's son

There's a million stories we've never told
There's a million souls in every fold
Of every letter in every word
On every page of the myths that you've heard

I lift a thumb across the road
A desert white
Everything's done
A green tin cap, a grey horned-toad
A black and white
And red Verdun

There's a million stories we've never told
There's a million souls we'll never hold
The plot's no better, the themes: absurd
An empty rage in the myths that you've heard
Oh the myths that you've heard
