Never Stops

Lagwagon

I'm all right
Tell me you're all right
Almost there 
Barely here

I knew that this day would have to come 
Wailing on the wall
Watching giants fall
I know there's a message to receive 
Written in debris
It's meaning's hard to see 
The loss of innocence 
Means nothing in the new world
All our hands are red 
Everyone is guilty now

I'm all right
Tell me you're all right
Stop my eyes... 
Open wide

Another idiot glued to the box 
Frozen to the screen
Scared to turn it off 
Quiet shock gives way to righteousness 
Rattle on the bars 
Vengeance will be ours
Fanatics on their knees
Pray for a swift and just revenge 
Become what they condemn 
Mirror image men 

Hands across America, let's catch contact hysteria 
Our flag erects from broken homes, July 4 for evermore 
Colors of democracy
Fly from every SUV
The misspelled bumper sticker's here 
Where did all the honor students go?

Numbers on the news 
This time with familiar names
This time on familiar ground 
This reality in your back yard
So the fences fall 
Will you redefine them all?
Will you choose shelter or empathy?
The world we share has come too close 
With borders blown from glass
We collect stones and cast them 

They say the party never stops
But I know we cannot get off 

Another idiot comes on the box 
Breathing privileged air 
Preaching to the fair 
Rallying one muscle under God 
Leading on the cheer 
Leaning on their fears

The state of ignorance means nothing to the faithful 
God is with us now
They disregard the world beyond the wall
