Leave The Engine Room - Everything Everything

Baby gets born, rolls on his back

Opens his eyes and hears a voice a-saying, «Oh, oh, oh, oh»

I’ll tell you a secret about yourself

I’ll tell you a secret about yourself

Your father was bad, his father was bad

His father was bad, need I go any further on?

You’re not gonna try to involve yourself

Your pliable head is a walking hope

'Cause even now, there’s a bone snapping

Doughy embryo, bloody hands clapping, the blood is clapping

If all the boys say you did it

And all the girls say you did it

And if all the boys say you did it

And all the girls say you did it

Then man, you’re as guilty as

The ones that came before

You sleepwalked over here

The drawbridge creaks ignored

Leave the engine room and go

Leave the engine room and build a road

Leave the engine room

The steam will peter out

And I’m tired of the centuries passing

The vacuum and the womb

And I respect that things have changed

And I’m alone and I remember snatches here

And I involve myself with utter madness

Leave me lounging

With my nerves butchered and the ceiling torched in the birth canal

'Cause even now there’s a bomb dropping, it’s ever dropping

'Cause all the boys say I did it

And all the girls say I did it

And, mother, all the boys say I did it

And all the girls say I did it

And man, I’m as guilty as

The ones that came before
