Les paroles de la chanson
« The stand »
Mother Mother

“Tell me your weakness”
Oh I keep it a secret
“Oh come on just one vice”
Okay it’s vodka on ice
But then there’s women on bikes
Or just the women who straddle
“Oh now you are a handful”
I forgot about handfuls.

“Tell me your fears”
Okay it’s everyone here
“You mean, just all of the people?”
Yeah, and all of their peers.
And all of their pets
And their chandeliers,
And their cigarettes -
I haven’t smoked in years.

I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all

“Talk about space”
Well it’s a beautiful place
“But it’s so damn cold”
Sure, for the human race,
But for the planets and the stars,
And everything else, and Mars
“It’s like paradise
Spread out with a butter knife.”

I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all
(Repeat)

I can hardly stand. I can hardly stand. Everyone’s fucked and they don’t even know…

I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all

I can hardly stand. I can hardly stand. Everyone’s fucked and they don’t even know…

Everyone’s fucked and they don’t even know.
