Have you heard the song is dead? The last note faded last september   In a show on MTV   The VJ said the final words, then waited 'til the lights came off and   Ran off on a shopping spree      Have you heard the heart is dead? It's last black beat just echoed deathrow   And it made us feel so safe   The victim's father made the news to make as statement for the familiy   He said it sure was worth the wait      Will anyone trade a heart of stone?   I once had a name, but now I'm gone      I won't be dismayed I didn't draw the line   I will speak right up, I'm doing time   For watching without words, for covering the hurt   And leave the heart behind, I'm doing time      Have you heard that faith is dead? It's last unspoken wish has crumbled   into dust beneath your feet   Unless I give it one more try, I'll slit my veins and bleed them dry   I still have promises to keep      Will anyone trade a heart of stone?   I once had a name, but now I'm gone      I won't be dismayed I didn't draw the line   I will speak right up, I'm doing time   For watching without words, for covering the hurt   And leave the heart behind, I'm doing time
