1:16And now the dust has settled I'm still left with me
1:19Still trying to think of what it is I'd like to be
1:23Always looking for the easy exit out
1:28Never stopping to wonder why
1:36Color's faded by the raping of the land
1:39Color's diluted by the raping of woman
1:43We celebrate the life and history of man
1:48How we suffer for all we've achieved
1:56I've never met you Philip Morris but I know
1:59You treat me like I was the son you never killed
2:04I am your servant and yes you have raised me well
2:08Will you put flowers on my grave
2:28M I L L E N I U M
2:32I want to spend it with you
2:39M I L L E N I U M
2:44I want to spend it with you
2:50M I L L E N I U M
2:55I want to spend it with you
3:01M I L L E N I U M
3:06I want to spend it with you
3:13M I L L E N I U M
3:18I want to spend it with you
3:24M I L L E N I U M
3:29I want to spend it with you
3:35M I L L E N I U M
3:41I want to spend it with you
3:59Trying to make some sense of this I can't work it out
4:08Nobody lives here anymore
4:11A trophy for our new captain who'll blame someone else
4:19They're building a monument a for a dead century
4:30They're building a monument a for a dead century
4:42They're building a monument a for a dead century
4:53They're building a monument a for a dead century
And now the dust has settled I'm still left with me Still trying to think of what it is I'd like to be Always looking for the easy exit out Never stopping to wonder why Color's faded by the raping of the land Color's diluted by the raping of woman We celebrate the life and history of man How we suffer for all we've achieved I've never met you Philip Morris but I know You treat me like I was the son you never killed I am your servant and yes you have raised me well Will you put flowers on my grave M I L L E N I U M I want to spend it with you M I L L E N I U M I want to spend it with you M I L L E N I U M I want to spend it with you M I L L E N I U M I want to spend it with you M I L L E N I U M I want to spend it with you M I L L E N I U M I want to spend it with you M I L L E N I U M I want to spend it with you Trying to make some sense of this I can't work it out Nobody lives here anymore A trophy for our new captain who'll blame someone else They're building a monument a for a dead century They're building a monument a for a dead century They're building a monument a for a dead century They're building a monument a for a dead century
