Oh we were too far in denial
to reach out to the younger crowd
And we were too post-suicidal
to be so smug and proud
And I'm not sure what you were thinking
in the middle of it all
But now I'm sure you realize your error

Cuz everybody else wanted something to make them better
but somehow self-improvement wasn't quite as easy as it seems
Oh everybody else wanted something to make them better

Where are you buried Sir Mozart?
Where did they throw away your drunken genius bones?
Don't look so merry Sir Mozart
The world you left us in is far from home sweet home

The president is looking in the mirror
It's far too late to count again
And now the time is growing nearer
Let's see if you're still laughing when
We're stuck in perpetual blunder
and war is all we have to distract us
In our state of shock and awful consequence

And everybody else wanted someone else to make it better
Cuz somehow being leader wasn't quite as easy as it seems
Yeah everybody else wanted something to make them better

Where are you buried Sir Mozart?
Where did they throw away your drunken genius bones?
Don't look so merry Sir Mozart
The world you left us in is far from home sweet home

Where are you buried Sir Mozart? (I really think the joke's on you)
Where did they throw away your drunken genius bones? (Appreciation left us long ago)
Don't look so merry Sir Mozart (They say you help us learn but still)
The world you left us in is far from home sweet home
