lyrics

Verse 1

you told me nothing would change
but I look back to see halcyon days
now it seems to do nothing but rain it ain't the same
You said that all this would pass
that it was just a change of the gaurd
nobody cleaning up their own yard, we've gone too far

Chorus

stupid is as stupid does what used to be you ain't us
the postman's chasing the dog down my drive
caught with no ark in the flood
gold is worth more than your blood
I'm chasing these ghosts in the fog tryin to survive

Verse 2

headlines in the papers the same
some of the names have been changed
our rome is going up in flames and we're to blame
the thieves are fading into the night
there's something on the news that ain't right
cos everydays a bitter fight I'll walk into the light

Chorus

stupid is as stupid does what used to be you ain't us
the postman's chasing the dog down my drive
and we're caught with no ark in the flood
gold is worth more than your blood
I'm chasing these ghosts in the fog tryin to survive

Lead Break

Chorus

stupid is as stupid does what used to be you ain't us
the postman's chasing the dog down my drive
caught with no ark in the flood
gold is worth more than your blood
I'm chasing these ghosts in the fog tryin to survive

Chorus

stupid is as stupid does what used to be you ain't us
the postman's chasing the dog down my drive
caught with no ark in the flood
gold is worth more than your blood
I'm chasing these ghosts in the fog I'm tryin to survive

I'm just tryin to survive, I'm just tryin to survive
