Lyrics
On and on and on again
Falling bombs like shelling drums
A refrain that only comes
From the hands of lesser men
Who tell themselves that their
Ugly choices make them hard
But there’s nothing easier
Than sending death from leather chairs
Watch out, there’s devils in the dust
And their eyes are watching with a terrible lust saying
“All is mine to take and grind and burn as I want”
Watch out, there’s devils in the dust
With a fucked up smile and a hunger for blood saying
“Wave goodbye and say goodnight ‘cause I want you gone”
Tell me why, tell me why they get away
With destruction as the coin they pay
Tell me why, tell my why we let them stay and justify
Tell me why, tell me why they get a say
In the question of who dies today
Tell me why, tell me why we let them play with other lives
Soft lullabies ring through the night
Hear their reply fall from the sky
They’ll pave over your home
To put up rows of condos
Empty as the wind speaks
“…were never here, you were never here…”
They’ll steamroll your bones
And build a palace of gold
Then use it for one week, two times a year
On and on and on again
It’s a tuneless melody
Infinite cacophony
That may never reach its end
The only thing I know
Is there’s more of us than them
A harmonious dissent
Carried on the radio
Pretend, pretend, it’s all
Built for the status quo
The border lines we scrawl
As if they were always known
Try tearing down the walls
Start small and take it slow
Our aid is mutual
Right here in our common home
Hold it close
Breathe it in
Let your love be spoken
Ascend, ascend the squall
Warm in the open glow
Where waves begin to crawl
Soft in the undertow
So let the levee fall
Sure as the river flows
Into the sea, we all
Send hope on the radio
Hold it close
Breathe it in
Let your love be spoken
Call it out
Breathe it in
Let your love be spoken
(Just call out, will you call out
The sound is all around you)
