Damage Control

How'd you like the sound?
the sound as you fell back down to earth?
could you draw a line
underneath the way you've lived this life?
when your secretary of war's run off
with his network of spies
he's voicing your opinions but sharpening his knives

Let me dress you up darling and whisper your name
if this is what you need to believe
cause I'll dig these mines for silver
the way I've dug them for coal
are these your final words?
cause to me its just damage control

When your laws and legislations won't lead you nowhere at all
and the Chairmen of the Board
are just waiting for you to take that fall
when you're left with no friends
and your theories have all been proven wrong
and changes have swept the glamour boys away
who used to just tag along

Then I'll dress you up darling and shout out your name
if this is what you want to believe
cause I'll dig these mines for silver
the way I've dug them for coal
is this your final pitch?
cause to me its just damage control
damage control
damage control

So let's dress you up darling and whisper your name
if this is what you need to believe
cause we'll dig these mines for silver
the way we've dug them for coal
are these your final words?
cause to me its just damage control
damage control
