Walls (Electric)
Empty thoughts on the side of the road
Oh, the depths that we sink to, to cover our hate
Bumper stickers fill my head with smoke
I want to smash in your window and scream it in your face
But if I wanted to be a preacher
I would have stayed in church
And everyone could bow their heads
And know that all my words were descended from the heavens
And we could all decide how to lock out all the sinners
So that we could sleep at night
And I've got fire burning strong
And we both know that we're not wrong
So turn those fists to open arms
'Cause we could do so much better than building walls
And it's so easy to forget we know that the bastards
We're fighting are still flesh and bone
And if we can't be patient then they'll never learn
'Cause "fight fire with fire," we're all gonna burn
And if I wanted to be a soldier, I would have gone to war
And all of us could shoot our guns in the name of the higher cause
But I'm emptying my cartridges 'cause I've been fired on
And a bloody mess is all that's left when everybody's gone
Oh, the depths that we sink to, to cover our hate
Bumper stickers fill my head with smoke
I want to smash in your window and scream it in your face
But if I wanted to be a preacher
I would have stayed in church
And everyone could bow their heads
And know that all my words were descended from the heavens
And we could all decide how to lock out all the sinners
So that we could sleep at night
And I've got fire burning strong
And we both know that we're not wrong
So turn those fists to open arms
'Cause we could do so much better than building walls
And it's so easy to forget we know that the bastards
We're fighting are still flesh and bone
And if we can't be patient then they'll never learn
'Cause "fight fire with fire," we're all gonna burn
And if I wanted to be a soldier, I would have gone to war
And all of us could shoot our guns in the name of the higher cause
But I'm emptying my cartridges 'cause I've been fired on
And a bloody mess is all that's left when everybody's gone
