Wake Up the Town

Anti-Flag

"The Lord also tells me to tell you  in the mid 90's, about '94 and '95, no later than that, God will destroy the homosexual community of America."

Yeah!

I've been screaming all through the night
(Screaming through the night!)
And I've been cursing every day that you've been alive
(Alive!)
I've been working since you stole adolescence
You will never foresee it, you will never forget it

I've been watching as the plagues go by
(Will you let yourself die?)
And I've been grinding my teeth in spite
(Then you think we survive?)
I've been thinking by the day that you left
I can never foresee it, I will never forget it

I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers

Wake up the town, burn the bridges down
Wake up the town, build up the walls now
Build 'em so tall, no one can get out
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!

I've seen them dying since the night
(Buy the sins from the sight!)
And I've been cursing his name while you pray at night
(So pray at night!)
I just hope you get a taste of your own, 
Not enough, just a sip, but enough that you drown

I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers

Wake up the town, burn the bridges down
Wake up the town, build up the walls now
Build 'em so tall, no one can get out
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Get out!

And if you ever see our Dad
Will you please tell Him that I slit His throat in this dream I had?

I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers
I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers

Wake up the town, burn the bridges down
Wake up the town, build up the walls now
Build 'em so tall, no one can get out
