You Can't Buy Back The Dead Lyrics - Vice Squad

Marketing new miracles to keep us off the streets 

Some fall by the wayside uninvited to the feast 

Welcome home the vulture men to pick the bodies clean 

cover up and sanitise the cruel and the obscene 

but you can't take it with you 

or pay god to forgive you 

you can't buy back the dead and gone 

No you can't take it with you 

or pay god to forgive you 

The war machine still rumbles on 

Human vermin fighting over rotting meat 

top dogs in designer clothes delight in their deceit 

Make god in your likeness, stifle intellect 

Arrogance is worshipped in the gutter press 

Carve up other countries with your butchers knife 

who cares when the profit justifies the price? 

but you can't take it with you 

or pay god to forgive you 

you can't buy back the dead and gone 

Enough's never enough 

Absolute power will corrupt 

The war machine still rumbles on
