White Light Rock & Roll Review lyrics

In the wilderness uncountable voices
earplugs for the birds and the animals
and blinders for your beast of burden, the will for learning
these books were made for burning
in the wilderness
beneath the ancient sand lies crushed and tanned those sapphire girls
may we never forget you
Alert status red
but the sun comes up instead
In the wilderness the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary

What if you woke up in the middle of the night
And in your bare feet you walked outside
And realizing that you were awake that you could fly
Out over the world
To places that youve only heard of
See faces that you were sold as murderers
But just like you theyre only lonely boys and girls
Like all over the world
What if you could lift them up?
What if you could make it so that times werent tough?

A hand off the heart
One on the wolf until your lambs itch
Life lives in the dark
But you joke and you kid about the light switch
Stand up, stand up, stand up, start walking
You run and you run, and you run, and theres no time to think
No time to breathe
No time at all
Just the buffalo seven
A hand on the heart
One on the wolf until your lambs bleed
Life live in the dark

Throw away your anger
Throw away the sheath
Charge and spike your heavy guns
Because that aint no kind of belief
Dream of where it left you
When you were still too young
To know the difference between the faith in your heart
And the politics of looking dumb
Its all I know
This empty road
It keeps me looking for a place in your heart
Its all I know
Said brother are you weary?

Saturdays
Saturdays Im reminded of
Bombs away
Over our house when it could have been, should have been, doves
A mind to waste
Out on the street ya theyll sign you up
Get a taste
Beat you down when it could have been, should have been, love
Ex-pats of the Blue Mountain symphony orchestra
If heavens above me
Then those starry skies they know me
And if it cant get the blood off out hands

Line up crooked my eyes straight up at the sun
In and out of consciousness
Neither is much fun
Show down with that head of yours
And the book is 1

Way up in that sky
I look up and I wonder
If thats you passing by
Its been a while since I was your man
Used to shout up from outside
Wake you when you were sleeping
Now I walk the streets, I dont recognize nobody
Its been a while since I was your man
As time passed us by
We never felt like we should
We never did what we ought to
And folks they used to smile

Little terror
Pack your stars
Heres a big wind for your sails
From the motherland
Little terror sings the company song
Heres a big hand to move you along
From the motherland
Mother
Your son hes a bad boy
Mostly a bad boy
But hes the one

Aint got a job but the futures bright
Flip off the world you know they say its all right
You never get what you want to
And modern love you just cant stand
That candy coating is just a scam
You never get what you want to
Oh ya, all right
North American for life
Ya mother fucker were number one
All out of beer so go get your gun
And well take what we want to
The price of freedom is getting steep

From Chicago to Miami
Shout New York, shout LA
Today we take the White House
And paint it poor mans gray
From London to Damascus
Cry Freetown in Marseilles
Today we take the blue sky
And paint it poor mans gray
My mama she done told me
Theres heart and then theres hate
If one of them is inside of you
The other one it aint
From the alleys on the East side
Where the train it throws the weight

Put out your lights
Youre taken over
Sit on your hands for the new national anthem
It sounds a lot like shit but it goes on and on
Put out your lights
The waitings over
Sit on your hands for the new national anthem
It sounds a lot like shit but it goes on and on

Go shoot down the sun and moon
Close your eyes, live at noon
We dont know what we are
But were tired of it
Go and get your friends
Well take this city while its sleeping
Down and out without a doubt
Were down and out
Were so heavy
Cant get out from under it
Theres too many of us that dont want to fight it
Hey Ive lost too many years to this
I walk behind the crowd
