The Latest Toughs

Lyrics

All the latest toughs
 You've got to shrug them off or shut them off
 With ten-thousand-time-told truths
 You've still got to ask for proof, ask for proof
 'Cause if you're dying to be led
 They'll lead you up the hill in chains to their popular refrains
 And then your slaughter's been arranged, my little lamb
 It's much too late to talk the knife out of their hands
 Well, I woke up on a foggy morning
 Hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun
 But it came out and it shot its rays down
 Burning everyone, it was burning everyone
 They were dying, anyway, to turn to ash, to feel their feelings flash
 And finally fade away in a fabulous and fiery display
 Hiding, hiding from the sun
 We're hiding from the sun, we're hiding from the sun
 And it was burning everyone, it was burning everyone
 It was burning everyone, it was burning everyone
 And I don't know what notes you want to hear played (hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun)
 Can't think what lines you'd like me to sing or say (hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun)
 Not sure what subjects you want mentioned (hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun)
 So pause and add your own intentions (hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun)
 Just pause and add your own, let's pause and add our own
 Let's pause and add our own intentions when you're-
 ♪
 We were hiding from the sun
 And all the latest toughs, well, we have seen that stuff
 And we have seen enough blood in dying coughs
 Which means that we have lost
 We have lost, and if you're crying to be tossed
 They'll toss you down the oubliette with all the old things that
 You let yourself forget because you'd like to love a star
 Who'd throw you down below the ground he thinks you are
