lyrics

EMPTY POCKETS

Tell me what you wanna do tonight
let's go downtown and set the place alight
It's been so long and I can't recall
amazing feeling of stand or fall

because we're dead
and we know it very well
Because we're dead
soon we'll have nothing left to sell

A last call for your assistance
to stand up straight to walk the distance
To cover up this sorry instance
these empty pockets of my resistance

Scared and weak, under total control
you live inside the shopping mall
Attempts of being energentic
turned out naive and quite pathetic

Because you're fake
completely made of plastic
you're a mistake
it's sad but it's fantastic

A last call for your assistance
to stand up straight to walk the distance
To cover up this sorry instance
these empty pockets of my resistance

And I am spending my days
trying to understand
how did we lose it all
and fell under command
threw the towel in and ran away from the fight
I'll see what's on TV and stay home tonight
