Ashes In Your Mouth (Live at the Cow Palace, San Francisco)
People have round shoulders
From fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them
Laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor
Is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up
Along the wailing wall
Melting down all metals
Turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible
We need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles
Of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer,
Says the dead shall rise again
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
Now we've rewritten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
If you're fighting to live
It's O.K. to die!
The answer to your question is...
Welcome to tomorrow!
Solo - Marty - Marty - Dave
Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
From fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them
Laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor
Is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up
Along the wailing wall
Melting down all metals
Turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible
We need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles
Of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer,
Says the dead shall rise again
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
Now we've rewritten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
If you're fighting to live
It's O.K. to die!
The answer to your question is...
Welcome to tomorrow!

Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
