There's no earthly way of knowing

What was in you heart
When it stopped going

A storm was blowing through you

Waiting for God to stop this

And up to your neck in darkness

Everyone around you was corrupted

Say something

There's no dignity in death

To sell the world your last breath

We're still fighting over everything you left

I saw you standing at the gates

When Marlon Brando passed away

Advertising space

No one learned from your mistakes

We let our prophets go to waste

All that's left in any case

Is advertising space
2nd Verse:
Through your eyes the world was burning
Please be gentle I'm still learning
You seemed to say as you kept turning up
They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realise
That everybody loves your life but you
Bridge:
A special agent for the man
Through Watergate and Vietnam
No one really gave a dam
Do you think the CIA did
Chorus:
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
Outro:
C Em (3X)
Am G F
Chorus:
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
I've seen your daughter man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you
