This stupid production is making me think

That history's drawn in invisible ink

Too many graves and not enough houses

Not enough men and too many mouses

We're wearing new rags and we fight over crude

Not enough kind and too many rude

Flashbulbs popping at the Wicked Parade

Don't wake us up till we're all got it made



Smile for the camera and raise your glass

Pull up your socks till they cover your ass

Say, "Goodbye"...

No more mama's apple pie

Damn the torpedoes and take a bow

It'll always be now

All the children say, "Wow"

Say, "Goodbye"...

No more mama's apple pie



Covers are blown at the masquerade

When the rain starts falling on the Wicked Parade

Tell another lie hope you don't get caught

But you better not cry when your soul's been bought

Lifeboats floating out on the flood

Blood's thicker water, love's thicker than blood

Another bullet leaves another mother bereft

And the sergeant says, "To the left!"



Smile for the camera and raise your glass

Pull up your socks till they cover your ass

Say, "Goodbye"...

No more mama's apple pie

Damn the torpedoes and take a bow

It'll always be now

All the children say, "Wow"

Say, "Goodbye"...

No more mama's apple pie



To the left!..
