It's a lesson in progress How far away can we go? Everything is progress As far away as I know Take a life and make it something less Please! Anything more then stupid tests And tests and tests and tests and tests They've found the answer to my selfishness
Cry, cry, cry And we hear them sing
Please, stop killing us You know we're oh so fond of dying Please stop using us They'll never shut up Please, stop killing us You know we're oh so fond of dying Stop using us
It's an acceptable practice And I am loathe to say Snuffed out the wicks from a sea of candles Maybe Jesus would take it away
And we hear them sing
Please, stop killing us You know we're oh so fond of dying Please stop using us They'll never shut up Please, stop killing us You know we're oh so fond of dying Stop using us
The carousel comes round again I cry and scream but I pretend They're running down and I can't chase Or put that smile out of place
Come, they come to take them all away But I'm not going home Come, they come to take my soul away But I'm not going home
