Wet Work

Something beautiful happened in the church house, but it didn't have to do with God
 And something beautiful happened in the court house, but it didn't have to deal with the law
 Something beautiful happened in the theater but it didn't have to do with the play
 And all this beautiful is smuggled like a secret and it doesn't have to be that way
 'Cos something beautiful gets shot down everyday
 And nothing so obscene could ever dream to take its place
 They kept us splashing in the wet work so they can cash in on the network
 "Lets get connected while the text is corrected."
 Love, it doesn't have to be that way
 My brother, he got shot up in the greenhouse
 He was researching the cure
 And my sister, she got locked up in the jailhouse but she didn't even know what for
 My cousin, he got strung up outside the courthouse
 He was challenging the case
 Something beautiful will always surround us but its just to easy to erase
 And something beautiful gets shot down in every place
 And something beautiful happened at the border
 No!
 And something beautiful happened on the corner
 No!
 Now nothing beautiful is happening anyway
 They keep us splashing on the wet work so they can cash in on the network
 "Soft opposition if you play your position."
 Love, it doesn't have to be that way
 One thousand clouds so peaceful vanished in a din of rhythms from a helicopter
 Turn me up, dont turn me in
 The sound was deafening it tore into the bedroom and it didn't have to do with God
 We loved each other like a bomb loves a body and it didn't have to do with the law
 I forgot the sheets, the heat, the gentle weaponry
 I won't forget the look on your face
 The loudest bomb is quieter than an eyelash against the fabric of your pillowcase
