Songs About Roses - Owl John, Scott Hutchison, Andy Monaghan

Dedicate a life to the dying breed

Throw a punch into the face of vacant leaders and leave

Chloroform the singer who has nothing to say

Stare in wonder as the masses sing along anyway

Pull apart the actors pretending to grieve

They never went to the funeral, and they never believed.

Shack your burning placard in the government lawns

Have faith that there is consequence in protest songs

Bulldoze the pedestrian blues and the baize

And those only right to get blown and get paid

Songs about roses and poisonous lies

Every last rose says your not even trying.

When nobody asks you and nobody cares

If we never here another song about roses again.

We don’t need songs about roses

We don’t need your terrible blues

We don’t need songs about roses

Please sing me something new.

We don’t need songs about roses

We don’t need your terrible blues

We don’t need songs about roses

All that we ask for is truth.
