This is the common story of a common man

A short man, short-sighted

Winning in life, but living divided

Between

Washing the blood off his hands

Or getting the lead onto his head

From the top of his belly he could see

There was no use in killing a fool like me

He'd better have us all fighting over his greed

He's shaking the jar

While we politely bleed

I'll be gone in a minute

Long before you open your mouth

I light a candle, a cigarette

Just to hear you shut it out

A house burning down

Behind your hollow words

I try not to hit you

(Every) now and then i wish I could

You're killing the buzz

You're killing the buzz

You're killing the buzz

I'll be gone in a minute

Isn't that what you want?

I'll be gone in a minute

Will I have my minutes back

If I pay it straight in cash?

Tie the tie around your neck or

Throw it in the trash

From the land where you come from

Did they teach you any manners?

Or do you just print yourself out pretty

To look better in banners?

You're killing the buzz

You're killing the buzz

You're killing the buzz

I'll be gone in a minute

Isn't that what you want?

I'll be gone in a minute
