lyrics

So we drive into the country
Beneath the burning sun
I do all my best acting
Down the barrel of a gun
Lay out the new placemats
Pour out all the wine
Break down the borders
To a brand new way of life
Cut out your tongue now
Caught talking out of turn
Important to remember
How we watched our cities burn

All I can say is I'm glad you're ok
And you've said you won't take it no more
Tell me to pray, only then can I stay
I don't think I can take this no more

Come on now baby
Wash your filthy hands
I won't participate in
The sick world

Hard to see a future
That's not a lot like this
Be part of something bigger
Continue to exist
I've got so many problems
I made myself a list
Tacked it to the doorframe
To remind me of my sins
Deny my imperfections
Cause there's nothing I can do
Realize my misperceptions
Ingrained as in a zoo

All I can say is I'm glad you're ok
And you've said you won't take it no more
Tell me to pray, only then can I stay
I don't think I can take this no more

Come on now baby
Wash your filthy hands
I won't participate in
The sick world

Second generation of my family
Not to fight in a Great War
And then she shows up in her brand new Chevy
And we drive to the Palisades Mall
And I'll be buried under the concrete
Before it dissolves into sand
This planet is yours for the taking baby
For as long as it lasts
I hope that my ancestors
Didn't cause yours any pain
But the likelihood is they did
Yeah the likelihood is they did

All I can say is I'm glad you're ok
And you've said you won't take it no more
Tell me to pray, only then can I stay
I don't think I can take this no more

Come on now baby
Wash your filthy hands
I won't participate in
The sick world
