Napoleon's Hat - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]
The barons of industry put inspiration on Hitlers tongue[00:00:22]
The next century crashed hard[00:00:30]
With a loud sound like a starting gun[00:00:32]
It's race for acquisition and to make more things that glow[00:00:38]
I got a knack for dodging bullets and flying zeros[00:00:47]
So I act like I am rich try and make it my whole look[00:00:56]
'Cause poor people don't exist when times are good[00:01:04]
Mozarts foster parents put cigarettes out in his ears[00:01:29]
When he got old enough to stutter he said[00:01:37]
"I don't listen but I-I-I can hear"[00:01:40]
The eloquence of traffic yeah the milk pond's sad lament[00:01:46]
It's a requiem of moments I keep living through them[00:01:54]
But wheres the monster in the closet [00:02:02]
I can't find the hangman inside his hood[00:02:06]
I guess evil don't exist when times are good[00:02:10]
Doctor Oppenheimer winced when he felt[00:02:34]
The broken piece of his pace-maker[00:02:37]
Unbuttoned his shirt on a subway platform[00:02:43]
Clutching his chest while his vision blurred[00:02:46]
He saw the bane of his creation the destroyer of the world[00:02:50]
Yeah truth can leap to solace or a life long bender[00:02:59]
It's like wading through a wasteland where a town you love once stood[00:03:07]
You just cry each time you think of when times were good[00:03:16]
Napoleons tailor dressed him in a giant hat and funny platform shoes[00:04:02]
Saying anyone can be a hero [00:04:10]
You just got to force people to look up to you[00:04:12]
So when you're talking on a hotline to a suicidal soul[00:04:18]
Don't let your voice sound like hot coffee more like a scented pillow[00:04:27]
And strive for understanding over being understood[00:04:35]
Just don't let yourself forget when the times get good[00:04:43]
When the times get good[00:04:53]
When the times get good[00:04:57]
When the times get good[00:05:02]
