Nietzsche's Way

Lyrics

Los Angeles police
 They come in different flavors
 And history refuses
 To do them any favors
 The insects point towards you
 With numbers on their collars
 I'm dancing with a sandwich
 That cost eleven dollars
 That's Nietzsche's way of telling you
 That's Nietzsche's way of setting you down
 You were in love with Caesar
 But Caesar in a body bag
 It could have been a grow bag
 If he'd been a tomato
 That's Nietzsche's way of tempting you
 That's Nietzsche's way of setting you down
 I don't like that word "absolute"
 You see that loathsome superman
 He flexes by your sundial
 My physique was inadequate
 So I became a dreamer
 It's the privilege of youth and beauty
 To hate themselves
 It's the privilege of youth and beauty
 To fade
 If something doesn't kill you
 It's gotta make you stronger
 And as you haven't killed me
 You must have made me stronger
 It's the privilege of youth and beauty
 To corrupt themselves
 It's the privilege of youth and beauty
 To decay
 Los Angeles police
 They come in different flavors
 And history refuses
 To do them any favors
 That's Nietzsche's way of telling you
 That's Nietzsche's way of setting you down
 Of setting you down
