Smell the Roses

There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
 A hint of danger in his eye
 Alarm bells raging round his brain
 And the chimney's broken in the sky
 Wake up
 Wake up and smell the roses
 Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change
 There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
 Nothing but hope at the end of the road
 Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
 Come on honey it's real money
 ♪
 This is the room where they make the explosives
 Where they put your name on the bomb
 Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs
 And scratch out words like right and wrong
 Wake up
 Wake up and smell the phosphorus
 This is the room we keep a human heir
 Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us
 Little less cash in the stash in the cupboard
 At the bottom of the stair
 Money honey
 ♪
 Wake up
 Wake up and smell the bacon
 Run your greasy fingers through her hair
 This is the life that you have taken
 ♪
 Just a line in the captain's log
 Just a whine from a resident dog
 Another kid didn't make the grade
 Come on honey it's a fair trade
 Wake up
 Wake up and smell the roses
 Throw a photo on the funeral pyre
 Now we can forget the threat she poses
 Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
