Lyrics

Here we go, fast or slow, a rodeo
Whiplash enough to break us
Tantrum, morals blown, kingdom come
Here for me

This is why we can't have nice things
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders
This is why we can't have nice things
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders

Righteousness, indignant carelessness
Carried through without thinking
Mob rule, thoughtless, cruel
A ship of fools sinking here

Burn it down, hold it down, haul it down
(I don't need this)
Burn this whole thing to cinders
Sacred cow, golden bough, ashes now
(I don't need this)
Worship dust

This is why we can't have nice things
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders
This is why we can't have nice things
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders
This is why we can't have nice things
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders
This is why we can't have nice things
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders

This is why we can't have nice things
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders
Smash it all to flinders, smash it all to flinders
