This band has had a ton of good stuff lately. Maybe this song is too "political" for some people, but for me it strikes that certain chord.
woah-oh-woah-oh-oh
woah-oh-woah-oh-oh
bang bang go the coffin nails
like a breath exhaled
been gone forever
it seems like just yesterday
how did i miss the red
flags
raised think back
the days we laughed
we braved these bitter storms together
brought to his knees
he
cried
but on his feet
he
died
what god would damn a heart / (what god what god)
and what god drove us apart
what god
could
make it stop
let this end
eighteen years pushed to the ledge
it's come to this
a weightless step
on the way down singing
woah-oh-woah-oh-oh
woah-oh-woah-oh-oh
oh
bang bang from the closet walls
the schoolhouse halls
the shotgun's loaded
push me and i'll
push
back
i'm done asking i
de-
mand
from a nation under god
i feel its love like a cattle prod
(born free) born free but still
they
hate (born me)
born me no i can't change
it's always darkest just before the dawn
so stay awake with me
let's prove them wrong
make it stop
let this end
eighteen years pushed to the ledge
it's come to this
a weightless step
on the way down singing
woah-oh-woah-oh-oh
woah-oh-woah-oh-oh
the cold river
washed him away
but how
could we forget
the gatherings saw candles (oh)
but not their tongues
and too much blood has flown from the wrists
of the children shamed
for those they chose
to kiss
who will rise to stop the blood?
we're calling for
insisting on
a different beat yeah
