A is for action
P is for paranoid
A is for anger
Out here in the void
see is for countdown
O is for over
LYPSE are for your lips smashed on mine when the world blows up

Hang hang hang on
Where do they go?
Save your souls now
Got to stay strong
Hang hang hang on
Hanging on hanging on
Til the old man bangs a gong

G is for greed
O is for order
V is for villains in the three-piece suits defining the borders
E is for empire
are is for revenue
N is for not for me but was
MENT was meant for you and me

Hang hang hang on
Where do they go?
Save your soul now
That's a place to start
Hang hang hang on
Hanging on hanging on
Til the old man bangs the gong

We don't care if we're all right
All we want to do is fight
Who cares if we're all right?
Who cares when we can just fight?

D is for disease
E is for entropy
A is for acceptance so drop your funeral weapons
T is for time [tick tock tick tock...] and you ain't got much left
H is for heaven or hell now let's hear it for
DEATH

Beggars, poets, hustlers
Wall Street, rich boy suckers
Why, friends, you know that no side's
better in the end
We're all gonna fry together

Hang hang hang on
Where should they go?
Save your souls now
That's a place to start
Hang hang hang on
Hanging on hanging on
Til the old man bangs

Hang hang hang on
Where do they go?
Save your souls now
That's a place to start
Hang hang hang on
Hanging on hanging on
Til the old man bangs a gong
