Lyrics

Black-eyed Susan
You make us nervous
Because we're very aware that you do not care

Black-eyed Susan
What don't you believe in?
"No is always easier than Yes"

Black-eyed Susan
You must insist:
"You are a born again atheist"

Heavy rings on bitten fingers
Black-eyed Susan sometimes shakes to break
- So watch it -

Black-eyed Susan
Rest and do nothing
Because it's the only thing that you do quite well

Black-eyed Susan
Rest and do nothing
Because it's the only thing that you do quite well

Black-eyed Susan
Rest and do nothing
Because it's the only thing that you do quite well

Black-eyed Susan
Please remember
We were the first, we were the first
