Red In The Eyes

You know the world is on fire in more ways than one
Humanity is staring down the barrel of a gun
We're awake
We're awake and red in the eyes
While you anaesthetise the feelings of your rock and roll
There is a burning overgrowth in your suburban sprawl
We're awake
We're awake and red in the eyes

Now we know the ocean holds enough to start a flood
Ears to the ground hear the bass and the blood
From the martyrs and the poets and the innocent man
Ah, the kids are watching out for your red right hand
The kids are watching out for your red right hand

You know the world is on fire in more ways than one
Some people wield their language and some others brandish guns
Some people tend to cower and some others claim the fence
We're gonna tell the kids that they can dance
They can dance, dance, dance

Don't blame the kids if they're gonna say so
Don't blame the kids they're gonna say so
Don't blame the kids if they're gonna say so
Don't blame the kids they're gonna say so
Don't blame the kids if they're gonna say so
Don't blame the kids they're gonna say so
Don't blame the kids if they're gonna say so
Don't blame the kids they're gonna say so

You're gaining all the world at the expense of your neighbour
I'm old enough to know i don't condone that behaviour
The opulence, the contacts, a house on the sand
Ah, the kids are watching out for your red right hand

"Yeah, okay, cool
But do you actually expect to change people that way, you know?"
