The Fallen lyrics

[Verse 1]

So they say you're troubled, boy

Just because you like to destroy

All the things that bring the idiots joy

Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?

And the Kunst won't talk to you

'Cause you kissed St Rollox Adieu

'Cause you robbed a supermarket or two

Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?

[Pre-Chorus]

Did I see you in a limousine?

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened?

Turn the rich into wine as you walk on the mean

[Chorus]

Well, the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us, never judge us

Yeah, we're all...

[Verse 2]

Up now and get 'em, boy

Up now and get 'em, boy

Drink to the devil and death at the doctors

[Pre-Chorus]

Did I see you in a limousine?

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened?

Well, five-thousand users fed today

Oh, as you feed us, won't you lead us

To be blessed?

[Verse 3]

So we stole and drank Champagne

On the seventh seal, you said you never feel pain

I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?

I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation

In my blood, I felt bubbles burst

There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst

You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt

I fall to the floor, fainting at the sight of blood

[Pre-Chorus]

Did I see you in a limousine?

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened?

You turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean

Be they Magdalene or virgin, you've already been

You've already been, and we've already seen

[Chorus]

That the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us, never judge us

To be blessed

[Bridge]

La la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la, la la la la

[Verse 4]

So I'm sorry if I ever resisted

I never had a doubt you ever existed

I only have a problem when people insist on

Taking their hate, placing it on your name

Some say you're troubled, boy

Just because you like to destroy

You are the word, the word is 'destroy'

I break this bottle, think of you fondly

[Pre-Chorus]

Did I see you in a limousine?

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened?

To the whore in a hostel and the scum of a scheme

Turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean

It's not a jag in the arm, it's a nail in the beam

On the barren Earth, you scatter your seed

Be they Magdalene or virgin, you've already been

You've already been, yeah, we've already seen

Yeah, you've already been

We've already seen

[Chorus]

That the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us, oh, if you judge us

We're all damned
