Literature Text

we'll burn this city down
despite the price of gasoline
brother say you'll stand by me
sister say you'll help me sleep

cause there are no more wars
to send our boys off to
just to come back as shells of men
so we run in place
and wave our guns
in goodbyes
in pretend

(and I will reconcile myself
as an american
I will be a terrorist
as I live in fear
I will echo out in the silence
I will be the song you hear)

we'll burn this city down tonight
despite the price of gasoline
brother won't you fight with me?
sister won't you help me sleep?
and it's just a cardboard town
so tear it up
or burn it down

(and do they?
no
cause they don't really understand

and would they
go?
would they just want to hold your hand?)
