lyrics

friend of a friend was shot dead at war taking pictures for newspapers

freshly split church doors
high and hungry church ceilings
the ritual of what they know as wrong and right (vs.)
the ritual of what we know is right now

freshly spit out from the train, wearing their suits
casualties of good stock
fill the room with famous people
look away from the body

you can go fast
you can go slow
you can go "hey, it's worth it"
we all go

friend of a friend came back from war 200lbs all 200lbs

terrific view from here
but it makes people ill
try not to think about it
it doesn't have to go like this, does it have to go like this? TRY

terrific view from here
but it makes people sick
there are casualties for good stock photos
wrestle it down, catholic, make it stick
look away from the body

you can go fast
or you can go slow
singing or screaming
we all go

back home people talk about it
waiting for the bus, people read
rub their hands pink
rub their hands casually on their jeans, red

what's the wait, what's the wait, what's the wait for?
what's the weight, what's the weight, what's the weight for?

don't have to know now.
don't have to think of it now.
don't have to know now.
don't have to think of it now.
