Thorns bloom where flowers should reside,
The watchmen are thieves, nowhere to hide.
The times are amiss, amiss,
The government's lost its kiss.
The times are amiss, amiss, amiss.

Thorns bloom where flowers should reside,
The watchmen are thieves, nowhere to hide.
The times are amiss, amiss,
The government's lost its kiss.
The times are amiss, amiss, amiss.

Do not play the game of love's desire,
Do not play, set your heart afire.
There's no oil within these hearts,
Yours, yours, yours, play no parts.
The excuse is amiss, amiss, amiss.
Thorns bloom where flowers should reside,
The watchmen are thieves, nowhere to hide.
The times are amiss, amiss,
The government's lost its kiss.
The times are amiss, amiss, amiss.

Here, fate offers no employ,
The arrow's fled, the target coy.
Here, fate offers no employ,
The arrow's fled, the target coy.
They falter, falter, falter,
And then on fate they deploy.
The aim is amiss, amiss, amiss.
Thorns bloom where flowers should reside,
The watchmen are thieves, nowhere to hide.
The times are amiss, amiss,
The government's lost its kiss.
The times are amiss, amiss, amiss.

In every word, a hidden snare,
In every breath, a tangled lair.
At every step, a web is spun,
Upon them, upon them, upon them,
Your fortune is undone.
To squander is amiss, amiss, amiss.
Thorns bloom where flowers should reside,
The watchmen are thieves, nowhere to hide.
The times are amiss, amiss,
The government's lost its kiss.
The times are amiss, amiss, amiss.
Thorns bloom where flowers should reside,
The watchmen are thieves, nowhere to hide.
The times are amiss, amiss,
The government's lost its kiss.
The times are amiss, amiss, amiss.
Amiss, amiss, amiss.
