There's no earthly way of knowing

What was in your heart

When it stopped going

The whole world shook

A storm was blowing through you

Waiting for god to stop this

And up to your neck in darkness

Everyone around you was corrupted

Saying something



There's no dignity in death

To sell the world your last breath

We're still fighting over

Everything you left over



* I saw you standing at the gates

When Marlon Brando passed away

You had that look upon your face

Advertising space



** No one learned from your mistakes

We let our prophets go to waste

All that's left in any case

Is advertising space



Through your eyes the world was burning

Please be gentle I'm still learning

You seemed to say as you kept turning up



They poisoned you with compromise

At what point did you realise

Everybody loves your life but you



A special agent for the man

Through Watergate and Vietnam

No one really gave a damn

Did you think the CIA did



[Repeat * , **]



[Repeat * , **]



I've seen your daughter

Man she's cute

I was scared but I wanted to

Boy she looks a lot like you
