lyrics

I’ve been walking through the wasted streets By the station and the old hotel
Between the gunman and his dirty sheets Between sirens and the broken bell

I’ve been walking with this old blind fold Along the edges of the endless road Between the stars and the rusted cars Looking for a little flash of gold

Is this the land the we borrowed?
Is this the land that we stole?
Who’s gonna be the fool tomorrow? Who’s gonna try to play that role? Turning diamonds back to coal

I’ve been walking through the hurricanes Through the torches of the hate parades Between the actress and the role she plays Between the dogs and the shallow graves

I’ve been walking through a dead man’s town Where the answers are all absurd
Between the pervert and his plastic crown Between the hero and the gallows bird

Is this the land of bone and cinder? Where they farm the GMO?
Who’s gonna be the next pretender? Who’s gonna try to play that role? Turning diamonds back to coal
