Faded Paper Figures
Speeches
I've been trying to watch this thing
But the truth is truth is a bit obscene
If they said everything
Then they lied

And at the fall fire line
They bought time
On your TV screen
So some white-haired guy
Can give speeches
On and on and on through the night

And if you're watching again
(I don't know now)
It's not half as strange as it's been
(or will be)

Channel 66 and I still can't see
What the things they said
Have to do with free
If we left everything
We'd be fine

At the last free side
I brought my revelation dream
Of a gun-less sky
And I gave speeches
On and on and on through the night
We missed the last peace train
We've gone insane
A radiation cloud starts to rain
And you hear speeches
On and on and on through the next fire line
They'll buy more time
On your TV screen
So some white-haired guy
Can give speeches
On and on and on through the night
