Ugly Purple Sweater - DC USA lyrics

This was an empty space Ever since the king was shot dead Everything from Ben Ali to Tivoli was burned down Now, it's an acronym Putrid from the stench of no smell Tubes of glowing gas are all that's standing in for the sun Buy them up and start again And plaster over every tiny spell That's standing in for them And when we're done, we swear That you won't even recognize this place But you've got a temper a temper a temper, my dear. I know if they had their way, I'd never miss a moment plugged in. I'd never feel a bead of perspiration form on my brow. The mind is an empty space Fill it up and watch it get dim When every block is just the same, How will I know where I am? But why are you so sure That when we're done, There will not be a place for you? A place for everyone And when we're done, we swear, That you won't even recognize this place. But you've got a temper a temper a temper my dear.
