From All the Dust

When it's cold outside
When there's no place to hide
They'll bury you in snow and gouge your eyes
When they're over your shoulder
And you've gotta make a choice
You have to do the best with time while you're alive

This is how it was
I stood on trial with all my peers who took the bus
To where it all died
And I watched them cry
We gotta build a brand new world from all the dust

And well the money's spent
But they're collecting rent
The landlord burns the house while you're in bed
When money talks it screams so loud
The words no one would say
The greatest story ever told will not be read

This is how it was
I stood on trial with all my peers who took the bus
To where it all died
And I watched them cry
We gotta build a brand new world from all the dust

The bomb blew as expected
And the bad ones never cease
The evidence was covered up by the police
They'll beat you and they'll kick you
Til you're rabid in the streets
It's up to every one of you to break the leash

This is how it was
I stood on trial with all my peers who took the bus
To where it all died
And I watched them cry
We gotta build a brand new world from all the dust
