Body Count Songtext
von Buxton

When the pile of the bodies was only ankle-high
We didn′t wanna hurt nobody and we took it all in stride
But when the pile of the bodies grew ninety stories tall
No hell was too awful for the parties involved

And the waiter in the lobby, he's waiting for the phone
But his little baby sister won′t leave him alone
She's tugging on his apron and she's tugging on his sleeve
She says, "Daddy may not love me, but why′d he have to leave?
Why′d he have to leave?"


And the wise men and pharaohs and the kingdom as it comes
It's just like monkeys in a barrel holding on to anyone
But I myself am guilty, I′ve coveted the prize
And I've bound myself to glory while spitting every lie
Spitting every lie

Now somewhere on a mountain there′s a man who sits
Way above the heavens, he sees the world and watches it
And he gets to thinking how nothing here seems strange
'Cause there has always been an evil
And there′s always been the people
That never change
