we must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web
we must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read
and in the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair
we must stare, we must stare, we must stare
we must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell
set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell
and in the ear of every anarchist who sleeps but doesnt dream
we must sing, we must sing, we must sing
while my mother waters plants, my father loads his gun
he says death will give us back to god just like the setting sun
is returned to the lonesome ocean
we must blend into the choir, singing static with the hole
we must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
and to this endless race from property and privilege to be won
we must run, we must run, we must run
we must hold up in the bunker where the dying soldier laughs
we must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
and in the caverns of tomorrow with only our flashlights and our love
we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge
and then we'll get down there... you know way down to the very bottom of everything and
sing it oh my god we'll sing it, we'll sing it
all my morning is coming fast
the whole world is waking up
with the city buses swimming past
im happy just because
ive found out i am really no one
by the way this how he played it on the Craig Kilborn show
