Say farewell to your fairweather friends
And not a second too soon.
To leave a life among ruins,
Well there was nothing left but to
Cut ourselves loose.
These fascists and philistines
Of violence and fashion,
These modern day philistines,
They stand on your hands
They stand on my hands.
Any day now we'll perish;
These are nervous times.
No one can hold a candle to you
When it comes down to virtue and truth.
No one can hold a candle to you,
And I dim next to you.
No one can hold a candle to you
When it comes down to old-fashioned virtue.
Kingdom mine,
Open your eyes;
Make up your mind:
Am I Einstein,
Or am I Frankenstein?
You said blow them away
To kingdom come,
But will the kingdom be won?
No one can hold a candle to you
When it comes down to virtue and truth.
No one, no one can hold a candle to you,
And I dim next to you.
