We live and dream about the future
Please ask me up. I need to pow wow now
Sift through the annals of our favorite times
Our heroes and all their fatal flaws
Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I sing
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep
Or take me deep again
We live and dream about our heroes
I listened closely and I said,
"I'm not sure where to place myself here, friend
I might pawn the gold rings instead."
The winners write the rulebooks
The histories and lullabies
Lay me down, down, down, down
Lay me down, down, down, down, down
Help me off to sleep (down, down, down)
Or take me deep again (down, down, down)
I heard what you said (Lay me down, down, down, down)
I picture bra** rings in your head (Lay me down, down, down, down)
While gold and bronze are bon bons (down, down, down)
Bra** is mixed with lead (down, down, down)
