I went looking for redemption and I found a one night stand But I didnt have it in me So I joined a traveling band Now the people on the roadside Stomp their feet and clap their hands While their children die behind them Playing war in arid lands Chorus: We watch them count their money They look us in the eye And say You lose They all go to heaven While were stuck here With the 21st Century blues Some work toward Armegedon While they nod their heads in time Buy their trinkets at the gift shop Then home to eat by five If we do what theyre saying Its like National suicide Invoke Jesus from the heartland On a genocidal ride When the ice caps all are melted And the high ground is out of reach Ill light a stick of incense In the ruins on the beach Ill wonder if it could have been different If our leaders had not been mad And wasted what we gave them Let them kill the best we had |
