first at the scene but last to know / the marching band got stuck in the snow / the tambourin 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 colourgrad 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 and 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.
