Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando And I - R.E.M.

We live and dream about the future

Please ask Neil I need to pow-wow, now

Sift through the annals of our flavored times

Our heroes and all their fatal flaws

Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I, sing

Lay me down down down down

Lay me down down down down down

Help me off to sleep

Take me deep again

We live and dream about our heroes

I listened closely, and I said

«I'm not sure where to place myself here, friend

I might pawn the gold rings instead.»

The winners write the rule books

The histories and lullabies

Lay me down down down down

Lay me down down down down down

Help me off to sleep

(down, down, down)

Take me deep again

(down, down, down)

I heard what you said

(down, down, down)

I picture brass rings in your head

(take me down, down, down)

While golden and bronze are… bon bons

(down, down, down)

Brass is mixed with lead
