Bordeaux Lip First At The Scene
First at the scene but last to know
The marching band got stuck in the snow
The tambourine drowns out the screaming
First at the scene but she will never know
Well, if you're born deaf, what language do you think in?
And if you're colourblind, can they colourgrade your mind?
Will there be lemonade when this ship is sinking?
And most important of all
Tell me: Who's gonna pay for that?
Who's gonna pay for that?
Me, I suppose
Don't let them panic - silent alarms
Make up a hero, make him too big to fail
A sugarcoated call to arms
And coupons to the people so they won't complain
When we set up the bright lights, eat money and sing
Oh, we know all too well we're gonna get our heads kicked in
First at the scene when the boy dropped his ice cream
Daddy, call the police
Ask them: Who's gonna pay for that?
Who's gonna pay for that?
Me, I suppose
You should hire two investigators, make them follow each other
And if you're already around, you might as well have another
Those umbrellas in your drink are obvious evidence
That the sun will shine on your behalf
Just for the laugh
