A flower for your vanity A penny for your thoughts About the world''s insanity And how we''ve gotten lost Strike up the band to play a song As we go waltzing by And fake a smile as we all say goodbye goodbye Say a prayer for recognition Kiss the ones you love Gather up the ammunition Sigh for all the lost Strike up the band to play a song As we go waltzing by And fake a smile as we all say goodbye Goodbye, oh goodbye <♪> Raise a glass for ignorance Drink a toast to fear The beginning of the end has come That''s why we all are here Strike up the band to play a song And try hard not to cry And fake a smile as we all say goodbye goodbye <♪> goodbye goodbye
