Alexandre Over Persepolis Lyrics - Singles - If I Had Eyes

your bombs always leave a hole in my chest 

tactics even the kgb would be 

jealous of the infultration of the stronghold 

is of no difficulty 

greatness has everything to do with kingship 

a ruler with a fist as powerful as his sceptre 

this is about power, this is about government 

this is about wearing heavy armor this is about protection 

even though you have no one to fear 

measuring your time spent on the throne in months 

and the length of your red carpet in years 

this is about dreams and drunkeness 

and in your stupor you burnt your own castle to the ground 

you've made them angry 

and the people have a voice 

its called the flamberge 

here comes death in a red dress 

our love for war. can only. bring us. to the. firing squad 

so tie yourself down this is going to be one hell of a ride 

put a revolver to, the strongest man's head, and you'll get him to cry 

and wish to god he never had to endure 

the test of will the test of strength 

the chinese torture methods 

were all wrong and in the morning 

you'll wish you were dead 

now reflect assassinate the president 

they tell you revolution is a healthy part of progress 

and so we'll seal the deal with a shot 

you grab the gun i'll grab the booze 

you're not going to want to remember any of this 

and like a dream it can fade 

swirl away like everything else 

we'll take the stage via stolen arms 

and dance the night away not worrying which wire to cut 

the blue, the red; neither are important 

and as the song ends we'll know how to disarm the bomb 

the world is safe once more 

but we're not i know its all been said and done before 

i'm just another hopeless romantic 

i know its all been said and done before 

a heartbroken cliche
