We made light of it all. Shands after speaking over bourbon. God knows I've seen better times, but you couldn't tell by how I was smiling.
We'd enslave the mountains to free Tibet, yet somehow we rot and stay animated.
It's the way you choose when you shake it loose.
You can't get the best of me, you can't get the best of me.
Barricades, break them down, there are barricades, break them down
Barricades, break them down... I know this part of town.
We'd cleanse our histories to kill the violence, yet somehow we rot and stay animated.
Face each day with a pair of fists, how long do I have to live like this?
Keep talking your head off, somehow stay violent, find a place to keep warm.
Mother Mary never sings to me.
Mother Mary never came.
We'd enslave the mountains to free Tibet, yet somehow we rot and stay animated.
It's the way you choose when you shake it loose.
You can't get the best of me, you can't get the best of me.
Barricades, break them down, there are barricades, break them down
Barricades, break them down... I know this part of town.
We'd cleanse our histories to kill the violence, yet somehow we rot and stay animated.
Face each day with a pair of fists, how long do I have to live like this?
Keep talking your head off, somehow stay violent, find a place to keep warm.
Mother Mary never sings to me.
Mother Mary never came.
