Can't Buy Back the Dead - Vice Squad

Marketing new miracles to keep us off the streets

Some fall by the wayside uninvited to the feast

Welcome home the vulture men to pick the bodies clean

cover up and sanitise the cruel and the obscene

you can’t buy back the dead and gone

but you can’t take it with you

or pay god to forgive you

you can’t buy back the dead and gone

Absolute power will corrupt

The war machine still rumbles on
