lyrics

If death dances with broomsticks
I'll sweep the floor until I fix
the disease that haunts the halls
of my high school, dumb brunette broomsticks
bite the dust, and get their nails did
with the blood of animals

Didn't you hear the wind?
She told the dogs to hide
from the smog clouds
painting the leprosy sky
Oh, I know we're dirty
we're putting superheros
on the backs of currency
I know that something's
I know that something wrong.

If greed swings from stripper poles
we'll fight the war with the bones
of Marylin Monroe and Anna Nicole
And with their femurs we'll carve the swords
that break the mirrors of little girls
'cause beauty's made with an airbrush
beauty's made with an airbrush

Didn't you hear the wind?
She told the dogs to hide
from the smog clouds
painting the leprosy sky
Oh, I know we're dirty
we're putting superheros
on the backs of currency
I know that something's
I know that something wrong.
