  • Worn and tattered, evils of the Western world
    Real better, over in America
    The weather, so serene and calm
    Unseasonably warm

    Light a candle for the sufferin' ones
    Light a candle for the weak and the small
    God damn it, there's a lot of 'em
    Kinda think that in the modern world

    Holy terror
    Asleep when the alarms went off
    You're in the mirror
    Studyin' your golden locks

    I love you
    Lets marry when the time is right
    Or whenever, you like

    Say a prayer for all the people that died
    Say another for me once in awhile
    I hit rock bottom, I'm gettin' old
    I was really hopin' that the modern world

    Happy livin' in a dumpster world
    Break out everybody in the jail,
    Lets get it on

    Let out the wolves
    I'm happy livin' in a dumpster world
    Bring on the booze
    Start it off

    We won't be arrested,
    For nothin' now
    Don't pick up that trash
    Put, more of it on the ground

    Bust out the drugs
    I'm happy livin' in a dumpster world
    Everyone in jail
    Yeah, lets get it on

    Let out all the wolves
    I'm happy livin' in a dumpster world
    That's mine now
    Come and get it on

    Bust out the drugs

    Light a candle for the sufferin' ones
    Light a candle for the weak and the small
    Say a prayer for all the people who've gone
    There's no hope for any modern world Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
