about

Not the first or last time but a good song. It's fun to play electric and fast, like 'What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love, And Understanding'.

lyrics

The Last Time (I Committed Suicide)

I saw the beauty of the word
between the lines where many men had died
for a duty so absurd
for the rumor of a painted bird
the last time I committed suicide

I saw a baby in the womb
inside the stoney stare of a young girl's eyes
I saw a noose in every room
from the cradle to an old man's tomb
the last time I committed suicide

I saw the men who rule my land
who lay to waste my world with pride
with their fascist architecture and their fire
Where money is the king
and the truth ain't worth a thing
and beauty doesn't seem to be desired

I saw the men who ruled my land
it made me wonder if I killed the wrong man
the last time I committed suicide

solo

I heard the laughter round my name
I saw a Godly road on which to ride
I saw a people still in chains
I saw a beast too big to tame
the last time I committed suicide

I thought of all the love i'd had
that I could still feel deep inside
beneath a world of lies I saw a road to my revival
I saw my mother and my dad
and I remembered how they tried
how they always fought so hard for our survival

just when the line was stretched so thin
that's when you called me back again
the last time I committed suicide
