Ascending into Madness - Hard Working Americans

I’ve come down here one last time a few times

A few times after that, well that was just for old time’s sake

And I know I’ve come down here a few times

For no good reason at all

But this time I swear I’m just down here by mistake

I’ll quit drinking for the reason I started drinking

When it makes me feel better than I already do

From rags to riches to rags

To richly embellished accounts of the truth

Ascending into madness

Rest in chaos my old friend

May you ascend

I sang you my song and then another not knowing

If I gave you a choice you’d make it

It will hit you just like dying some say

Or even worse if you’re able to take it

You’re ascending into madness

Rest in chaos my old friend

May you ascend

Into madness

The dead had been around this block a few times more than you had

A few times more than we all had well before it was even paved

And they say upon the Sea of Hypnocracy

That the shore is just another wave

Ascending into madness

Rest in chaos my old friend

May you ascend

Into madness

Rest in chaos my old friend
