They're profiting from your worry
They're selling blanks down
at the DMZ
They're banking
on the sound and fury
Makes you wonder what it all's
got to do with me
Bloodless for now

I'm keeping mine
with the altruists
I'm putting my weight
behind the dancer
I know it's hard to be an optimist
When you trust least the ones
who claim to have the answers
And it's an uncivil war
It's an uncivil war
It's an uncivil war
Bloodless for now
And the poets
they explode like bombs
Bloodless for now
While the gentry is drinking
Moet Chandon
Bloodless for now
Turn around and quote
a well known psalm
Don't you worry 'bout the wicked
Don't you envy those who do wrong
And your innocence will be
like the dawn
While the justice of your cause
will shine like the noonday sun

Well the best lack all conviction
And the worst keep sharpening
their claws
They're peddling
in their dark fictions
While what's left of us well
we just hem and we haw
And it feels like 1936
In Catalonia
In Catalonia
Bloodless for now
Bloodless for now
And the poets
they explode like bombs
Bloodless for now
Drinking Moet Chandon
Bloodless for now
Turn around and quote
a well known psalm
Don't you worry 'bout the wicked
Don't you envy those who do wrong
And your innocence will be
like the dawn
While the justice of your cause
will shine like the noonday sun
