The fighters for peace are at war again 
Heaven seekers at the bar again 
Drowning their sorrows with rhum 
Freedom traded for food 
There is no Robin Hood 
The righteous too busy praying to do anything else 

My lover is a beast in disguise 
The clothes I wear are his dead wife's 
When he looks at me with those eyes 
I look the other way 
But he feeds me 
So I stay 
In my purgatory 
Halfway to hell 

Give me a hairline's breadth of salvation 
I've been good, been good, been good, been good, been good 
In my purgatory 
I wish when I die 
I don't wake up here 

The fighters for peace are at war again 
Heaven seekers at the bar again 
Drowning their sorrows with rhum 
Freedom traded for food 
There is no Robin Hood 
The righteous too busy praying to do anything else 

Give me a hairline's breadth of salvation 
I've been good, been good, been good, been good, been good 
In my purgatory 
I wish when I die 
I don't wake up here
