Sing us a song of the century
That's louder than bombs
And Eternity
The era of static and contraband
That's leading us to the promised land
Tell us a story by candlelight
Waging a war and losing the fight
They're playing the song of the century
Of panic and promise and prosperity
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me

Born into Nixon I was raised in hell
A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
The last one born and the first one to run
My town was blind from refinery sun
My generation is zero
I never made it as a working class hero

My name is 'No one'
your long lost son
Born on the 4th of July
Raised in the barnyards
of he roes and cons
Left me for dead or alive

A worker of pride
My debt to the status quo
The scars on my hands
And the means to an end
Is all that I have to show

I swallowed my pride
And I choked on my faith
I've given my heart and my
soul I've broken my fingers
And lied through my teeth
The pillar of damage control
I've been to the edge
And I've thrown the bouquet
Of flowers left over the grave
I sat in the waiting
room Wasting my time
And waiting for judgement day
I praise liberty the freedom to o bey
It's a song that strangles me
Well don't cross the line

Key:
Chords used:
Piano
Hey Gloria
Are you standing close to the edge?
Lookout to the setting sun
The brink of your vision
Eternal youth is
A landscpe from the lie
The cracks of my skin can prove
As the years will testify
Say your prayers and light a fire
Were going to start a war
Your slogans a gun for hire
It's what we waited for
Hey Gloria
This is what were on the edge
The fight of our lives been drawn to
This undying love
Beat Changes from Ballad Piano to Fast Punk Rock
Gloria, Viva La Gloria
You blast your name
In graffiti on the walls
Falling thought broken glass that's
Slashing thought your spirit
I can hear it like a jilted crowd
Gloria, Where are you Gloria?
You found a home
In all your scars and ammunition
You made your bed in salad days
Amongst the ruins
Ashes to ashes of our youth
She smashed her knuckles into winter
As autumns wind fades into black
She is the saint on all the sinners
The one that's fallen thought the cracks
So don't put away your burning light
Gloria, Where are you Gloria?
Don't lose your faith
To your lost naivete
Weather the storm and don't look
Back on last november
When your banner where burning down
Gloria, Viva La Gloria
Send me you amenesty down
To the broken hearted
Bring us the season
That we always will remember
Don't let the bonfires go out
So Gloria,
Send out your message of the light
That Shadow in the night
Gloria, Where's your undying love?
Tell me the story of your life
your life

I was only dreaming
Of another place and time
Where's my family is from

I can hear them singing

Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline

Life before the lobotomy
Christian sang the eulo gy
Sign my love a lost memory
From the end of the century
Well It's e nough to make you sick
To cast a stone and throw a brick
And when the sky is falling down
It burned your dreams into the ground
Christian's lesson is what he's been sold
We are normal and selfcontrolled
Remember to learn to forget
Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes
Well i'm not stoned
I'm just fucked up
I got so high I can't stand up
I'm not cursed Cause i've been blessed
I'm not in love Cause i'm a mess
Like refugees
We're lost to refugees
Like refugees
We're lost to refugees

I got under the grip
Between the modern hell
I got the rejection
letter in the mail and
It was already ripped to shreds
Season in a ruin and
This bitter pill is

There's fire in my veins
And it's pouring
out like a fool

Raise your hands now to testify
Your confessions will be crucified
You're a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that's been sodomized
tand up!] all the white boys
Sit down!] all the black girls
You're the soldiers
of the new world
Put your faith in a miracle
And it's non denominational
Join the choir we will be singing
In the church of wishful thinking
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Key:
Chords used:
She puts her makeup on
Like graffiti on the
walls of the heartland
She's got her little
book of conspiracies
Right in her hand
She is paranoid like
Endangered species
headed into extinction
She is one of a kind
She's the last of
the American girls
She wears her overcoat
For the coming of
the nuclear winter
She is riding her bike
Like a fugitive
of critical mass
She's on a hunger strike
For the ones who won't
make it for dinner
She makes enough to survive
For a holiday of working class
She's a runaway of the
establishment incorporated
She won't cooperate
She's the last of
the American girls

She's a natural

She's the last of

The clocks strikes midnight
In the murder city

This empty laugher
Has no reason

Of your favorite poison
We are the last call
But we're still pathetic

Little girl little girl
Why are you crying?
Inside your restless
soul your heart is dying
Little one, little one
Your soul is purging
Of love and razor blades
Your blood is surging
Runaway
From the river to the street
And find yourself with
your face in the gutter
Your a stray for the salvation ar my
There is no place like home
x2
When you got no place to go
Little girl, little girl
Your life is calling
The charlatans and
saints of your a bandon
Little one little one
The sky is falling
The lifeboat of
deception is now sailing
In the wake all the way
No rhyme or reason
Your bloodshot eyes
Will show your
heart of treason
Little girl little girl
You dirty liar
You're just a junkie
Preaching to the choir
(Repeat Chorus 1)
The traces of blood
Always follow you home
Like the Mascara tears
From your getaway
Your walking with blisters
And running with shears
So unholy Sister of grace

Ive got a really bad disease
It's got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause something seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
It's like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
So send me to the pharmacy
So I can lose my memory
I'm elated Medicated
Lord knows I tried to
find a way to run away
I think they found another cure
For broken hearts and feeling insecure
You'd be surprised what I endure
What makes you feel so self assured?
I need to find a place to hide
You never know what
could be waiting outside
The accidents that you could find
It's like some kind of suicide
So what ails you
is what impales you
I feel like I've been
crucified to be satisfied
I'm a victim of my symptom
I am my own worst enemy
You're a victim of your symptom
You are your own
worst enemy Know your enemy

Cater to the class and the paranoid
Music to my nervous system
Advertising love and religion

Vision of blasphemy war and peace

Billboard on the rise in the dawn's landscape
Working your insanity
Tragic a'la madness and concrete
Coca cola execution
Conscience on a cross and
You're hearts on a vice
Squeezing out your state of mind
Are what you own that you cannot buy?
What a fucking tragedy, strategy

Do you know what's worth fighting for
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take you breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weight out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Does someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

Lay down your arms
Give up the fight

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

Red alert is the color of panic
Elevated to the point of static
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun
Idle thought leads to full throttle screaming
And the welfare is asphyxiating
Mass confusion is all the new rage
And it's creating a feeding ground
For the bottom feeders of

True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deaf mute is misleading the choir
The punchline is a natural disaster

Because the martyr

When he said "It's just

Well I crossed the river
Fell into the sea
Where the non believers
Go beyond belief
Then I scratched the surface
In the mouth of Hell
Running out of service
In the blood I fell
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I, I don't want to lose my sight
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I need to know what's worth the fight
I've been wasted
Pills and alcohol
I've been chasing
Down the pool halls
Then I drank the water
From a hurricane
And I set a fire
Just to see the flame
