The Fever - Curtains Lyrics

At the crack of the gun
Oh, how they run like hell
At the end of the dream
Oh, how they scream, do tell

And when the world all burnsOur leaders taking their turns, we'll find you
When the bodies are found
If you're not around, we'll consign you

Oh, when the curtain burns
We'll all tell the tale
Of thousands of wasted lives
When the children return
You won't be misunderstood
You'll be feared, you'll be smeared
And no longer revered, but hounded

You took them away
And then you led them astray, no one doubts it
Yet, you're not satisfied, you need to fuel your pride
So carefully tiptoe around it

You care not for the poor
Of this everyone's sure, you bruise the bruised and break the broken
And in this truth-seeking age
Your actions seem to enrage nearly all of your thespian allies

But when the curtain burns
We'll all tell the tale
Of thousands of wasted lives
When the children return
You won't be misunderstood
You'll be feared, you'll be smeared
And no longer revered, but hounded

Oh, and then, you're surprised
You say that they've hurt your pride
But you cannot explain
Why you couldn't refrain
You bitch and you moan
Your advisors just groan
So pick up the phone
Prove it to the world
