Terrible Things Lyrics by Beauty Pill

The Unsustainable Lifestyle

2004

M. David Chapman shakes and hovers in the shadows of the Dakota hearing voices, one of which will never sing again when this is over
Terrible things
Terrible things, they are gonna happen
(Terrible things they happen)
Quite often, there is nothing that you can do to stop them
(Terrible things they happen)
Idi Amin is born in '25
A bouncing baby, decimation
Boxing career gives him the sad idea to bludgeon his own nation
Terrible things
Terrible things, they are gonna happen
(Terrible things they happen)
And sometimes there is nothing that you can do to stop them
(Terrible things they happen)
But you got your fear on permanent loan, alone, alone, alone
Some crazy fear on permanent loan, alone, alone
Send it back, send it back, send it
Evil loves the averted stare and the subsidy of silence
Empathy and dissent, the catholicons for violence
Terrible things
Terrible things, they are gonna happen
(Terrible things they happen)
And sometimes there is a lot you can do to stop them
(Terrible things they happen)
You got your fear on permanent loan, alone, alone, alone
Some useless fear on permanent loan, alone, alone
Send it back, send it back, send it
M. David Chapman shakes and shivers in the shadows of the Dakota hearing voices, one of which will never sing again
Terrible things
Terrible things, they are gonna happen
(Terrible things they happen)
This record's over, so why not go outside and stop them?
