Every Time I Die Rebel Without Applause Lyrics

Sound the bells and take to the streets in arms
We're descending fast, a pox on your house of cards
Dry your eyes, your daughters have lost their faith
And started feeding upon the bait that we wear on our sleeve

Promise us you won't tell the public
The fury with which we despoil
I got a wife and kids and a hybrid car
I got a good life, I can't risk losing

If you can keep it a secret
Then me and the boys will bring pale hell to this town
We're trouble bound and we summon the devil electric

Prey on the faint of heart
We sing praise of the rebels who went by the book

Gravitate to teenagers artlessness
And sing it aloud the content is trivial
Its pillow talk plagiarized by the gadgets of lust
Just go to sleep, leave the gestures and customs to us

Cry fraud and let play the anthem of war Cry fraud and let play the anthem of war

Boys stand your ground
Keep delicate fingers but wrath in your white knuckled grip
The film is loaded and it's aimed at the whites in their eyes

You put out to get in
And we slipped right past the guards in the belly of a horse
And we sunk our fangs into the pulp of a desperate angst
We're powerless just until we're invited inside

If you can keep it a secret
Then me and the boys will bring pale hell to this town
We're trouble bound and we summon the devil electric

Prey on the faint of heart
We owe thanks to the rebels who went by the book

Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
We'd rather sink than admit it
Don't give up the ship

We only have one night in town
We only have one night in town
