This is the last song I will ever write
I’ll plug my ears and cover up my eyes to mask my sight
I’m killing off my instincts after 2,000 songs
I’m getting with the program, now I’m gonna play along

This is my songwriting suicide bomb
This is my songwriting suicide bomb

I can’t compete with blowing up yourself on a bus
Killing one of you and 19 of us
Flying hi-jacked airplanes so thousands will die
But I can kill too and blacken out the sky

This is my songwriting suicide bomb
This is my songwriting suicide bomb

This is the last song I will ever write
The last blank page my pen will ever blight
Abandoning the fight, I’m pulling off the gloves
No longer be a soldier for God or truth or love

This is my songwriting suicide bomb
This is my songwriting suicide bomb
