[00:20.23] |
Hey there, son of Adam |
[00:23.64] |
Hey there, daughter of Eve |
[00:26.01] |
Help me sing this tear gas riot song |
[00:28.81] |
For some fresh-faced police |
[00:31.39] |
They won't even know what hit them |
[00:33.77] |
When they lift their Roman shades |
[00:36.30] |
And the people's sun comes pouring in |
[00:38.91] |
On a brand new day |
[00:42.42] |
|
[00:51.57] |
You who dammed the river |
[00:54.49] |
You changed our mountain's name |
[00:57.17] |
First we want Denali back |
[00:59.77] |
Then we're taking over Washington state |
[01:02.20] |
You get death as a consolation |
[01:04.67] |
You know only hate and rage |
[01:07.20] |
You paid a dowry for your child bride |
[01:09.97] |
And now she's living like a slave |
[01:14.42] |
|
[01:17.73] |
A prayer came down the wire |
[01:20.04] |
It was all in the enemy's code |
[01:22.93] |
You couldn't figure out what mercy meant |
[01:25.29] |
So you did like you were told |
[01:27.73] |
When they finally sent the doctors |
[01:30.28] |
Once the fireball went out |
[01:33.08] |
There was nothing left but the cockroaches |
[01:35.74] |
And a movie with no sound |
[01:40.30] |
|
[01:42.56] |
What good, what good are you |
[01:47.93] |
With your Cherokee trail and your Roosevelt Room? |
[01:53.53] |
What good, what good are you |
[01:58.59] |
With your cynical plague and your Arlington tomb? |
[02:04.30] |
|
[02:11.55] |
Go ask Hunter Thompson |
[02:15.21] |
Go ask Hemingway's ghost |
[02:17.59] |
It all catches up with you |
[02:19.93] |
Once you get just a little too old |
[02:22.58] |
Take a hard look in the mirror |
[02:24.88] |
It's a thing that you cannot see |
[02:27.58] |
Your shadow's long but the day is young |
[02:30.22] |
It just wasn't meant to be |
[02:34.49] |
|
[02:42.54] |
There's no blankets for the winter |
[02:45.95] |
There's no oil in the lamp |
[02:48.46] |
And I'd like to write my congressman |
[02:50.97] |
But I can't afford the stamp |
[02:53.55] |
You want me to pay my taxes |
[02:56.16] |
So you can propagate your lie |
[02:58.57] |
While there's barefoot dudes down in New Orleans |
[03:01.33] |
Looking like they're going to die |
[03:05.59] |
|
[03:13.53] |
You who quote the legends |
[03:16.50] |
You who poisoned all of my dreams |
[03:18.97] |
You who pinned all of the medals on |
[03:21.55] |
All those boys from Omaha Beach |
[03:24.07] |
Hope you haven't got too lazy |
[03:26.64] |
I know you like your apple pie |
[03:29.26] |
Because the working poor you've been pissing on |
[03:31.80] |
Are doing double shifts tonight |
[03:35.85] |
|
[03:39.50] |
What good, what good are you |
[03:44.11] |
With your cynical plague and your Arlington tomb? |
[03:49.50] |
What good, what good are you |
[03:54.50] |
With your Cherokee trail and your Roosevelt Room? |
[04:00.76] |
