"American Spring" (2015)




Fabled World lyrics - Anti-Flag

We live in a fabled world,
of dreaming boys and wide-eyed girls;
Where precious few get a fair start,
these times can break you,
these times can leave you,
torn apart.

The story starts with genocide,
slavery, those terrorized;
Families, cultures torn apart,
this ugly truth only the start.

And it's a white washed pact,
the founding act,
revolution or contract?
To subjugate, to torture, to abuse,
for the few.

We live in a fabled world,
of terror, day and night,
all hidden in plain sight;
We live in a fabled world,
where the poor and the weak,
are pawns for profit's sake.

Lock up mass incarcerate,
the new Jim Crow, the new slave trade;
If Doctor King were here today,
he'd fight for much more than a dream.

And you should go sign up,
join the fight,
the rich sleep while you kill tonight;
Love thy enemy as thyself,
as you carpet bomb him to hell.

We live in a fabled world,
of terror, day and night,
all hidden in plain sight;
We live in a fabled world,
where the poor and the weak,
are pawns for profit's sake.

We live in a fabled world,
a corprocratic killing field;
Where fascist profits are a lock,
these times can break you,
these times can leave you,
torn apart.

We live in a fabled world,
of terror, day and night,
all hidden in plain sight;
We live in a fabled world,
where the poor and the weak,
are pawns for profit's sake.

We live in a fabled world
We live in a fabled world,
These times can break you,
these times can leave you,
torn apart.

The Great Divide lyrics - Anti-Flag

It's a breakdown, of the greatest divide
Never had a chance you were dead when you arrived
Class war to the 'nth degree
And they're coming for us and everyone that we trust
It's a breakdown, of rationality
Re-enforcement of false beliefs
Class war to the 'nth degree
And they're coming for us and everyone that we trust

While white collar crime runs out of control
Across the great divide lays the wretched poor
A rotting melting pot of haves and of have nots
So fix your bayonets, 'cause we're at war

It's a breakdown, or morality
A poor man's prison is a rich man's greed
Class war to the 'nth degree
In God we trust, they're coming for us
It's a breakdown, of your godly verse
The meek shall inherit the least of the earth
Class war to the 'nth degree
In God we trust, they're coming for us

While white collar crime runs out of control
Across the great divide lays the wretched poor
A rotting melting pot of haves and of have nots
So fix your bayonets...
Be strong, be brave, we're crossing the great divide
Be brave, we're crossing the divide

Brandenburg Gate lyrics - Anti-flag

I lost my baby to a foreign war
She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world

She was livin' in sin, I was livin' in a lie
She was caught up in the glimmer of a rich mans eye
I couldn't see her from the other side
They said son "there is no glory in your pride."

I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait, I'll wait

Well, I lost my baby to a foreign war
She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world

She was searching for salvation in the things you buy
I was finding all the reason to give up on life
If you love something and give it away
It can't come back unless you're free.

I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait,
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.

Somewhere in the in between
Where the east and the west meet
In the 30 year war where I came clean
That's where you will find me.

So I'll wait, I'll wait.

I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait,
(So I'll wait)
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
(So I'll wait)
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait,
So I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.

I lost my baby to a foreign war.

Sky Is Falling lyrics - Anti-Flag

I see my future straight in front of me
A super structure blown to smithereens
It's getting hard to hold to hope these days
I know it's much too late
Blasted lives lay in the debris
Blasted hearts where there once were dreams
Right now it's dark
And this is just the start

I know it's much too late
I know it's much too late
I know it's much too late
In the blink of an eye…
The sky is falling down

Falling down on me
Searching for a way out
But there's no escape
There is no past or future
I fell like I'm gonna drown
When the sky falls down
When the sky falls down
Sky falls down

In disbelief wearin' a lost blank stare
There's no help coming because no one cares
The world just sit by, waiting for us to die…
I know it's much too late
Counter Insurgent or insurgency
Religious, ethnic or sectarian seeds
Manipulation, born out of total greed

The sky is falling down
Falling down on me
Searching for a way out
But there's no scape
There is no past or future
I feel like I'm gonna drown
When the sky falls down

The sky is falling down
Falling down on me
Searching for a way out
But there's no scape
There is no past or future
I feel like I'm gonna drown
When the sky falls down
When the sky falls down
Sky falls down

(Skies fall, skies fall, skies fall, skies...)
I know it's much too late (Skies fall, skies fall, skies fall)
All gone in the blink of an eye (In the blink of an eye)
I know it's much too late (Skies fall, skies fall, skies fall)

I know it's much too late
In the blink of an eye
The sky is falling down
Falling down on me
Searching for a way out
But there's no escape
There's no past or future
I feel like I'm gonna drown
When the sky falls down
When the sky falls down

The sky is falling down
Falling down on me
Searching for a way out
But there's no escape
There's no past or future
I feel like I'm gonna drown
When the sky falls down
When the sky falls down
Sky falls down

Walk Away lyrics - Anti-flag

Walk away is what you always do
Be the same, as you want to do
There must be more to life than this

I don't ever know where I can find
An answer that is [?]
I know that we're okay
I know we're not afraid
Asleep we forge our own chains

Walk away, walk away is what you always do
Be the same, be the same as you want to do
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this

I came along at the wrong time
Watched colors turn all my insides
The criminal we receive
The criminal we conceive

Walk away, walk away is what you always do
Be the same, be the same as you want to do
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this

Sitting around and waiting for it all to end
Sitting around and waiting for it all to end
Sitting around and waiting for it

I know I can't be saved
I know I can't be saved
I know I can't be saved
I know I can't be saved

The certainty of our lifetimes
When we no longer dream, we die

Walk away, walk away is what you always do
Be the same, be the same as you want to do
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this

Sitting around and waiting for it all to end
Sitting around and waiting for it all to end
Sitting around and waiting for it

Song For Your Enemy lyrics - anti-flag

Cover up so no one sees too much
Separate the justice from the judged

Turn it on and turn it up
So I can't hear a goddamn thing
Turn it on and turn it up
So no one feels a goddamn thing

Stealing today
Buried the shame
We can only be untamed

This is the song for your enemy
This is the song for living recklessly

Cut away so no one cares too much
Separate the salesman from our crutch

Turn it on and turn it up
So I can't hear a goddamn thing
Turn it on and turn it up
So no one feels a goddamn thing

Stealing today
Buried the shame
We can only be untamed

This is the song for your enemy
This is the song for living recklessly

This is the song for your dignity
This is the song for living endlessly

I don't ever wanna fell this way again
I don't ever want this feeling to ever end

This is the song for who you want to be
This is the song for your enemy

Set Yourself On Fire lyrics - Anti Flag

Trying to understand what's with you
And all your friends and friend's friends are trying too
It's hard to find the words I really wanna say
But there's no point in waiting for another day

Crashing at the beach till season's end
Our unknown future was just waiting straight ahead
Yeah on the verge of something we'll never forget
In this the summer of our utter discontent

All caught up in the things that you want to do
You're all caught up in the things that are only... YOU!!!

You're gonna set yourself on fire
I see you set yourself on fire
Now you're burnin' down, burnin' down

Those days reckless, earnest, angry and naive
So much has changed but so much stays the same
Yeah self destruction is still flowin' in my veins
Could rise to greatness or could all go down in flames

All caught up in the things that you wanna do
In the things that are only... YOU!!!
They're only you!!! Yeah!!!

You're gonna set yourself on fire
I see you set yourself on fire
Now you're burnin' down, burning down

What are we, what are we gonna to do now
What are we, what are we gonna to do
What are we, what are we gonna to do now
What are we, what are we gonna to do now
What are we, what are we gonna to do
What are we, what are we gonna to do now

You're gonna set yourself on fire
I see you set yourself on fire
Now you're burnin' down, burnin' down

You gonna burn, you gonna burn
Gonna burn, gonna burn

All Of The Poison, All Of The Pain lyrics - Anti-Flag

Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From masses we shadows, from masses we can't escape

The world is never quiet
Even silence makes a sound
A pin-prick, a blank strike
What was proud is still as proud
Watch it unfold on LCD screen sets,
so we really, never, ever have to deal with it

Each pixel is a story of what there was before
Each cathode ray disguises just what we're looking for

Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From masses we shadow, from masses we can't escape

From the great north to a working man's hand
There's a story in the desert
Below the cobblestones the sand
Our indulgence is just one step away
Lust has no end when there's no end and no one awake to say

Are we afraid of you?
Are we the same as you?

Each pixel is a story of what there was before
Each wire tapped for water, to homogenize the poor
Each commercial will remind us that things couldn't get much worse

Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From masses we shadow, from masses we can't escape

Are we afraid of you?
Are we the same as you?

Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From masses we shadows, from masses we can't escape

Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From masses we shadows, from masses we can't escape

Away, away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From masses we shadows, from masses we can't escape

Break Something lyrics - Anti-Flag

Just trying to cope, the pushing and the pull
Anxiety that won't let go
This never ending race, no exit to escape
Takes everything from you

"The Great Recession", a great depression
A boom and bust - a Goldman Sachs play date
Supply and demand, they'll work you to death
Leave you broken, tell you, "Have a nice day"

I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break break something
Break break something, break something today

The Chicago School, neoliberal rule
Will work you till you crash
S.R.I. nation, the corporation
This ain't a model that is built to last

I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break break something
Break break something, break something today

I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break break something
Break break something, break something today

You want the suit at the top
To tell you what your life should cost?
I guarantee, it's a speck of what it's worth to you

You want the suit at the top
To tell you what your life should cost?
I guarantee, it's a speck of what it's worth to you

I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break break something
Break break something, break something today

I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break something today
I'm gonna break, gonna break break something
Break break something, break something today

Without End lyrics - Anti-Flag

Without end, I can see
Everything in front of me
Without end, I can be
As free as I want to be

It's the same game we all play
It's a game that we can't change
And there's nothing you can say to shake
the sands of our own fate

I gave away
All the things I'm supposed to save
I gave away
So I can be free
Of all that defines me

Without end, our crime would be
Living like it used to be
Without end, you stole from me
My home, my heart, my family

It's the same game we all play
It's a game that we can't change
And there's nothing you can say to shake
the sands of our own fate

I gave away
All the things I'm supposed to save
I gave away
So I can be free
Of all that defines me

Without end, we rise
Without end, we rise
Without end, we rise
Without end, we...

It's the same game we all play
It's a game that we can't change
And there's nothing you can say to shake
the sands of our own fate

I gave away all the things I'm supposed to save
I gave away

I gave away all the things I'm supposed to save
I gave away
So I can be free
Of all that defines me
So we can be free
So we can break free

Believer lyrics - Anti-Flag

It's so hard no to feel afraid
I want so bad not to think of myself or the things I'd change
I'm not my father or my ex lover
But I am my mother's son

I give up, I give in
I just want this to end
I wish I was anywhere but here
Don't give up, don't give in
There's no peace in the end
The war worth waging is right here

There's a debt to pay
There's a war torn land
There is rural waste and a slavery flag
A warrior wedding, a victory parade
A folded flag, a death benefit betrayed
There's no survival in a living wage of hazard pay

I give up, I give in
I just want this to end
I wish I was anywhere but here
Don't give up, don't give in
There's no peace in the end
The war worth waging is right here

On the streets tonight there's gonna be uprising
Born of the calm, born of the thriving
On the streets tonight there's gonna be uprising
Born of the calm, born of the thriving

I give up, I give in
I just want this to end
I wish I was anywhere but here
Don't give up, don't give in
There's no peace in the end
The war worth waging is right here
The war worth waging is right here

Just this. Justice.
Just this. Justice.
Just this. Justice.
Just this. Justice.

To Hell With Boredom lyrics - Anti-Flag

Drive the cop out of your head
No one cares until you're dead
The old world is behind you comrade
No one cares until you're dead
Happiness is haning your landlord
No one cares until you're dead

Freedom is the crime that contains all crime
Liberty is living without dead time

Whoa oh
To hell with boredom
Whoa oh
To hell with spectacle

With boundary
With ennui
With monotony
To hell with apathy
Whoa oh

Drive the cop out of your head
No one cares until you're dead
The old world is behind you comrade

Low Expectations lyrics - Anti-Flag

Burn it down once burn it down again
Are you my enemy or my friend?
So sick of all the bullshit and the posers who have got something to prove
These days I'll leave those thoughts to the likes of someone new

Living a life of low expectations
Living a life of no salvation
Living a life of low expectations
Living a lie

This place, it sucks, and I don't give a fuck
Empty laughs and hollow eyes

Trading bullshit half truth lies
You're sadistic and arrogant and deceptively eloquent, that's you
I roll my eyes, checkout out.
I'm done. I'm through.

Living a life of low expectations
Living a life of no salvation
Living a life of low expectations
Living a lie

I know that this is going no where
It's hard, it's hard for me to fucking care - I don't
Con artists leading fools
Sheep sleeping with the wolves
I gladly leave that all to you

Living a life of low expectations
Living a life of no salvation
Living a life of low expectations
Living a lie

Living a life of low expectations
Living a life of no salvation
Living a life of no salvation

The Debate Is Over (If You Want It) lyrics - Anti-Flag

For the first time in my life I'm truly free
To see the clear cut forest for the poisoned sea
To see the waters occupy the shores of Jersey

And I feel alive

For the first time in my life I'm truly free
To watch the waters persecute in New Orleans

87 days of disregard on a livestream
Fukashima radiate into the deep sea

Don't let 'em tell you this is on your back
The point of contention is how they act
Where you draw the line will set you free

The debate is

For the last time in our lives we'll get to see
Sunsets reflect and shine off of Greenland sheet
There's too much to gain letting things "be as they be"
As the same who sell disease they also sell "green"

So just change the light you buy
Or just change the car you drive
But don't change the make up of their economy

Don't let 'em tell you this is on your back
The point of contention is how they act
Where you draw the line will set you free

Don't let 'em tell you this is on your back
The point of contention is how they act
Where you draw the line will set you free

The debate is...

The debate is over.

I Wasn't Asking For It lyrics - Anti-Flag

She wasn't even sixteen
And now the plan is on your head

No chance to leave her alive
You stole from her another chance

I wasn't asking for it
But now you're asking for it
You cannot shame or bury me

I wasn't asking for it
You cannot break my spirit
Your lie won't even chance

Chickenshit conformist for survival
We're fighters

You're nothing but a collar and a bullet
Not guts, no heart, no worthy
Take it, this is your warning

I wasn't asking for it
But now you're asking for it
You cannot shame or bury me

I wasn't asking for it
You cannot break my spirit
Your lie won't even chance

I shut my eyes in 88

You're nothing but a plague to the planet
You're nothing but a plague to the planet
You're nothing but a plague to the planet
You're nothing but a plague

"The General Strike" (2012)



Controlled Opposition lyrics - Anti-Flag

No justice in a legal system run by criminals,
If you don’t like the court ruling then you shouldn’t be poor.
Now, go die...

The Neoliberal Anthem lyrics - anti-flag

Destruction do it again.
Destruction do it again.

Strap in and watch the world decay,
The latest disaster today.
This ain't no fad, this ain't no fashion,
This is the world wide anthem.

Disaster do it again.
Disaster do it again.

Disaster keep it strong.
Disaster do it again.

Strap in and watch the world decay,
The latest disaster today.
This ain't no fad, this ain't no fashion.
This is the world wide anthem.

This is the The Neoliberal Anthem of the world.

1915 lyrics - Anti-Flag

In a letter to every president, congressman, career politician,
Scrawled in spite across the envelope
With all of our conviction.
In only took a few hours for his peers
To find him guilty in a trial too fair,

A wobblie, immigrant worker has no place among the living.
"My body if I could choose to ashes it reduce."

Murdered by the capitalist,

November 1915 be careful of what you wish.
Who is wrong and who is righteous?

What was stolen from us we will replace,

Off with the head on the body we feast,

Who is wrong and who is righteous,
Will never be our own decision.

He yelled fire to the squad with guns, they stopped his heart from beating.

Every word he wrote, he spoke, he sung, we are still singing:
"My body if I could choose to ashes it reduce,
And let the breezes blow my dust to where some flowers grow.

Perhaps some fading flower then would come to life and bloom again".

If the workers take a notion,

They can stop all speeding trains,
Every ship upon the ocean.

They can tie with mighty chains
Every wheel in the creation,
Every mine and every mill.

Fleets and armies of all nations
Will at our command stand still.

This Is The New Sound lyrics - Anti-Flag

That alarm clock ringin’ in your ear,

Radio playing sports report cheer,

But you got nothing to cheer or shout about,

Just a nine to five in a lousy town.

Your morning begins,
With you thinkin’ of the cold of the street blown’ in your face.

Your morning begins with you thinkin’:
“One more day in this job and I’m gonna scream!”

So stand up
And step out,

Step out to the new sound.

“Hello!” to the manager, “Hello!” to the boss.

As they sell you short and they drink your blood
You give ‘em your heart and your very soul

Only to realize that they don’t give a fuck about you!

Your morning begins,
With you thinkin’ of the cold of the street blowing in your face.

Your morning begins with you thinkin’:
“One more day in this life and I’m gonna scream!”

So stand up,
Step out,
Step out to the new sound.

And when they try to put you down put you on your back,

But you don’t take that you knock ‘em out!

Bullshit Opportunities lyrics - Anti-Flag

Deceitful lie,

Alibi’s,

Bullshit opportunist,

With a disregard for fall guys.
No collar crime,

Stolen design,

Spineless snitch,

You can’t see beyond your own eyes.
Conceited time,

Hoarding flies,

You’re so vain,

The shit on your nose worn with pride.
Absent mind,

Covert disguise,

Shit shining timeserver,

You’d fuck your own mother just to get a bit ahead of the calm.

This separation,

This disconnect,

This is more than ignorance,
This is more than disrespect.

“If not for me who would it be?”

And still we close our eyes and drown ourselves in apathy.
And still we cover our ears and pray to god to cure disease.

This separation,

This disconnect,

This is more than ignorance,
This is more than disrespect.

“If not for me who would it be?”

Redefining what wealth is,
Redesigning what success is.
Who gives a fuck who you are?

The Ranks Of The Masses Rising lyrics - Anti-Flag

Times up!
You’re outta luck and your back’s up against the wall.
From Tunisia to Washington the people are calling: “No!”

Your gas n guns, your clubs n thugs, your lies on the TV,

None of that can save you now as your reign is swept away.

Get up! Get up!
Your voices are needed.
Become, become the pulse of the revolution,
In the ranks of the masses risin’.

Another shakedown and a slap in the face,
and he know he’d had had enough.
He doused himself in gasoline, took a breath, and lit a match.

She said: “I will go down to Tehrir Square and I will stand alone,

And if you have any dignity, I won’t be on my own.”

Get up! Get up!
Your voices are needed.
Become, become the pulse of the revolution,
In the ranks of the masses risin’.

Turn A Blind Eye lyrics - Anti-Flag

See our sense of shame and throw it overboard,
See our moral compass set to so past bored,
I guess conscience really does just make cowards of us all.

See us turn a blind eye till it’s criminal,

See us walk away until we can’t walk anymore,
I guess conscience really does just make us look like fools.

You’ve been washing out the faces of your friends again.

See us right the ship, take back control,

See us fight like hell for the way it was before.
I guess judgement really should just come from our enemies.

You’ve been washing out the faces of your friends.
You’ve been wishing that they’d give you another chance again.

Broken Bones lyrics - Anti-Flag

Broken bones and broken glass ,
Broken hearts and broken heads.
Livin’ the life.

Close my eyes try to make it last.

Outrun the wretched memories of my past.
It moves too fast.
I got no chance

A freight train racing set to crash.

Broken bones and broken glass ,
Broken hearts and broken heads.
Livin’ the life.

Wake up wondering: “How’ did I get here?”
Then cross my heart and say a fuckin’ prayer.
Ecstasy, tears, bravery, fears,

This boat may float, but it don’t steer.

Broken bones and broken glass ,
Broken hearts and broken heads.
Livin’ the life.

Life’s long and winding roads leading us
To a never ending trail to keep our youth.

It flashes by in lessons painfully attained.
Blood and sweat, black and blue,
Some surrender I got nothing’ to surrender to.

Broken bones and broken glass ,
Broken hearts and broken heads.
Livin’ the life.

So now you’re livin’.
So now you’re livin’.

Broken bones and broken glass ,
Broken hearts and broken heads.
Livin’ the life.

Close my eyes try to make it last,

Outrun the wretched memories of my past.

I Don't Wanna lyrics - Anti-Flag

I don't wanna wait for celebrities son.
I don't wanna wait for 911.

I don't wanna wait for the magistrate.
I don't wanna wait just to masturbate.

What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait I don't wanna
What is it that defines you?

I don't wanna wait for a microwaved dinner.
I don't wanna wait until I feel thinner.

I don't wanna wait for a PS4.

I don't wanna wait for their next war.
What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait I don't wanna
What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait I don't wanna
What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait I don't wanna
What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait!

The hardest battle you are ever going to have to fight,
Is the battle to just be you

What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait I don't wanna!

I don't wanna wait for Guantanamo's close.
I don't wanna wait for the next episode.

I don't wanna wait for the FBI.

I don't wanna wait for Fred Phelps to fucking die.

What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait I don't wanna
What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait I don't wanna
What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait I don't wanna wait I don't wanna
What is it that defines you?
I don't wanna wait!
GO!

I don't wanna wait I don't wanna!

Nothing Recedes Like Progress lyrics - Anti-Flag

They’re sleeping between satin sheets
While huddled masses sleep in streets,
Tucked in at night they lay and dream
Of corporate state theocracy.

Two steps ahead, three goose steps back,

While the sheep sleep the wolf attacks.

Nothing recedes.
Nothing recedes like progress.

Evil doesn’t stop to breath, bleed till nothing’s left to bleed.

You’re contemplating middle ground
While empire heads release the hounds,
You’re dealing with a sick machine,
Where there’s no heart, there’s no heart beat.

Two steps ahead, three goose steps back,

The masses sleep while their spines cracks.

Nothing recedes.
Nothing recedes like progress.

Evil doesn’t stop to breath, bleed till nothing’s left to bleed.

This is class war.

What are you waiting for?

For them to buy and sell your soul?
They already did.

No rest for the wicked, for the wicked never sleep.

Resist lyrics - Anti-Flag

Faceless, mindless storm troopers.

No heart, no soul, no care.

The fist of corprotocracy, they serve their master’s will.
Resist. We won’t back down, we’ll never die.

I got something to say and I’ll say it again.

I got something to sing and I’ll sing it again.

I got something to scream and I’ll scream it again.

The Ghosts Of Alexandria lyrics - Anti-flag

He was the poster child of miserable.

He was in love with colored boy.

No chance for hope in a land of servitude.
And now the ghosts of Alexandria

Hang in the halls like the boys on the oak,
To remind us that we're only 13 knots away
From repeating our mistakes.

No one can see on the inside,

No one can hear on the outside,

No one will speak the name to blame.
The dead sing: "It's not over."

She was the poster child of ritual.

She was in love with the U.S.A.

She was from some place but she could not tell us where.
And now the ghosts of Alexandria

Labor the field like amber waves of grain,

To remind us that we are only a minimum wage away
A bowl of rice a day

From repeating our mistakes.
It's not over.

No one can see on the inside.

No one can hear on the outside.

No one will speak the name to blame.
The dead sing.
And we watched the summer turn to the autumn of glory.
