The Latest Toughs

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
