Experiments begin - gotta let them end
We'll jump into the river holding hands
We'll let the water eat our skin
Oh feel the love!
Well its the end of another slow death summer
and I don't know if I'll make another
in this asthmatic city
wheezing something about "mercy please"
City fathers run rackets around this crooked beat
while the city's sons empty guns on the street and
William Penn's pissing on our discarded decency
Experiments begin - gotta let them end
We'll jump into the river holding hands
We'll let the water eat our skin
Oh feel the love!
Well its the end of another slow death
and I don't know if I can take another
all-city brawl no pity no referree
All the stares and glares and the misspent fist fights
The border wars and the cocaine crash sites
We're downwind people and we're all
getting down tonight
Experiments begin - gotta let them end
We'll jump into the river holding hands
We'll let the water eat our skin
Oh feel the love!
The rust belt tightens - we won't die
Stripped of our dignity - but we keep our pride
Hopelessly outnumbered - we still fight
For the honor of liberty and blight
We're ugly things with angel wings
asking Peter to check again
We made hell for each other
and we suffered for our sins
We're ugly things with angel wings
begging Peter to check again
We crawl to the gates of heaven
but they never let us in
