Last War Lullaby Lyrics by The Honeydogs

10,000 Years

2004

Ms. Anne Thrope
Darling, we lost all hope
Sweet ennui
You bore the life out of me
Billy Coup
We broke the code
But we can't find you
Do you read me
Needle, ball, and airspeed me
In the barrios of El Dorado
The milk of human kindness curdles rotten
Those who get mugged will someday be forgotten
Killjoy was here
Killjoy was here
God's machines will always falter
(is there a difference between the sins of thе warm-hearted, cold-blooded)
Can wе hold Gibraltar
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I- I don't know
There's a sawdust Caesar on the Maginot line
Sipping champagne from a bedpan
Dispatching homicidal automatons
He can darken all days
We got pinned down and off track
Thank you, captain cul de sac
In a ten-megaton blast, Brother 33
Made a comeback
Calling mayday
At kingdom come we knocked
But all twelve gates were locked
Calling mayday
One leg in the grave
The other kicking down the door
They poisoned all the water
The man behind the man
The rolling blackouts follow
The roving bands
Leave piles of hands
Barbed wire and rubber truncheons
Some won't cooperate
The jungle prison brothels
The hand-maimed know Leopold's ghost
The road to Khartoum
Was clogged with ragged children
Their parents gone
The troops had killed them
Vacant stares
Hollow cheeks
Swollen bellies
The black angel breadlines
And landmines to guide them
Holy refuge
Violated
There's a bloodlust
Never sated
Who'd think
That letting them play
In the field
Would leave them with wooden legs
Rugged cross
Golden idol
Star and crescent
Stone their arrivals
Lay a wreath
For the nature of the beast
We can't bury
Typhoid Mary
Loving angel
We can't stay here
White-hooded hydra
Teutonic nightstick
Brown-shirted gas chambermaid
We finally got evil
At the end of our blade
Shackle the mad
So the sane can flourish
We can nurse a sick world
After we deal with the damage
We're finally coming home
[Outro]
Can we please
Say goodnight
To the last 10,000
Years
Can we please
Say goodnight
To the last 10,000
Years
