I can't tell you why your children are dying, but I can offer you my sympathy.
And I can't show you where your children are buried, 'cause they're not.
They're not buried anymore.
You can shout it from the roof-tops, you'll be preaching to the choir.
And you better get started on this funeral pyre.
And I wish I could cry tears of blood but I can't, my body just isn't built that way.
And I hope all this suffering amounts to one good fucking thing, but it won't, because we can't see that far.
You can shout it from the roof-tops, you'll be preaching to the choir.
And you better get started on this funeral pyre, and one day I will truly set myself on fire so you can see how dim my light is.
So you can see how dim is my life.
And I can't show you where your children are buried, 'cause they're not.
They're not buried anymore.
You can shout it from the roof-tops, you'll be preaching to the choir.
And you better get started on this funeral pyre.
And I wish I could cry tears of blood but I can't, my body just isn't built that way.
And I hope all this suffering amounts to one good fucking thing, but it won't, because we can't see that far.
You can shout it from the roof-tops, you'll be preaching to the choir.
And you better get started on this funeral pyre, and one day I will truly set myself on fire so you can see how dim my light is.
So you can see how dim is my life.

i mean, either way it is still a song that makes me want to die every time i hear it, and that i think is essentially the genius of andrew jackson jihad. they ARE saying something, but...they're just saying.
