Never Stops

LETRA

Never Stops

I'm alright, tell me you're alright
Almost here, barely here
I knew that this day would have to come
Wailing on the wall watching giants fall
I know there's a message to receive
Written in debris streaming out to sea
The loss of innocence means nothing in the new world
All our hands our red everyone is guilty now

I'm alright, tell me you're alright
Stuck my eyes, open wide

Another idiot glued to the box frozen to the screen
Scared to turn it off
Quiet shock gives way to righteousness
Rattle on the bars vengeance will be ours
Fanatics on their knees pray for a swift and just revenge
Become what they condemn
Mirror image man

Hands across America
Lets catch contact hysteria
July 4th for ever more
Colors of democracy
Fly from every SUV
The misspelled bumper stickers here
Where did all the honor students go
Numbers on the news
This time with familiar names
This time on familiar ground
This reality in your backyard
So the fences fall
Will you redefine them all
Will you just shelter your empathy
The world we share has come too close
With borders blown from glass
We collect stones and cast them

They say the party never stops
I know we can not get off

Another idiot comes on the box
Breathing privileged air
preaching to the fair
Rallying one muscle under god
Leaning on a chair
Leaning on our fears
The state of ignorance means nothing to the faithful
God is with us now
They disregard the world beyond the wall
