See the fight, old men crying, deny their ruin
  watch them try
  the cynic laughs at the optimist's closed eyes
  darkness falls, curtain calls, the cynic's beer soon overflows
  other watches, has a seat, and from the same cup, they drink
  I'm doin' time, how long I don't know
  william had 26, blew his brains out, now look at him
  john had only one, watch the mother mourn her only son
  I'm doing time, how long I don't know
  I'll kiss goodbye my brain and body and go to sleep for generations
  and go to sleep for generations
  salvation
  cease concentration
  you'll only lose the fight
  don't tell me what's wrong or right!
  you're losing sight
  you're just gonna die anyway!
