When the Bomb Drops lyrics
by Primal Scream
[Verse 1]
We had a lot of good times, brother
I've known you all my life
Mixing blood and drugs and women
In your journey to the endless night
I've watched you kill what you've been given
You sold your vision for a glimpse of heaven
Yeah, goin' in, baby
[Chorus]
Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?
Here it comes
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
There's been a million people, brother
Just like you before
Think you're beyond good and evil
You can't even find the door
Painting pictures on your wall in junkie blood
Hey man, ain't that cool?
It's so beautiful
[Chorus]
Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?
Drop the bomb, eh
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Ain't no medicine to cure you
Ain't no woman you can love
Only death can make you painless
Only death can make you come
Junkie Jesus on the cross
You beg for scraps like a mongrel dog
Woof-woof
So suicide
[Chorus]
Once you were a thief of fire
Now you're just a junkie liar
What you gonna cop
When the bomb drops?
Drop the bomb, eh
Drop the bomb
Drop the bomb
Drop the bomb
[Outro]
You shot the bullets from your gun
You're going down like a setting sun
You shot the bullets from your gun
You're going down like a setting sun
You shot the bullets from your gun
You're going down like a setting sun
You shot the bullets from your gun
You're going down like a setting sun
You shot the bullets from your gun
You're going down like a setting winter sun
