[00:11.79]All these inanimate places feel
[00:14.02]Like they're changing
[00:15.22]
[00:17.00]And the kids all lined up on the wall
[00:18.84]Look like they're ready to die
[00:20.21]
[00:22.50]These forms they're sending
[00:23.80]It's like they'll just rearrange them
[00:26.05]
[00:27.93]We were caged up like animals
[00:29.65]Questioned and ready to cry
[00:31.41]
[00:33.51]'Cause I was just thirteen
[00:35.01]When I got my first taste of danger
[00:37.17]
[00:39.47]Standing by the church
[00:40.50]I had a bottle and a pen in my hand
[00:42.49]
[00:44.21]I said father I'm sorry
[00:46.28]I just don't know
[00:47.01]What to do with this anger
[00:48.25]
[00:50.47]This behavior is correctable
[00:51.80]I know this wasn't part of your plan
[00:54.27]
[00:55.62]Oh but punks like us
[00:57.40]We were always receiving instruction
[00:59.95]
[01:01.63]And you could burn our clothes
[01:03.04]You could wash out the ink and the dye
[01:06.94]But you can't look me in the eye
[01:08.69]And say you don't feel like
[01:09.73]A little destruction
[01:10.96]
[01:13.12]And the kids are lined up on the wall
[01:15.05]And they're ready to die
[01:16.48]
[01:18.66]And the kids are lined up on the wall
[01:20.65]And they're ready to die
[01:21.98]
[01:35.90]All these days just seem
[01:37.40]Like they're getting longer
[01:39.07]
[01:41.28]The view from my room is a gloomy
[01:43.32]And overcast grey
[01:44.72]
[01:46.71]It's like the weakness we left behind seems
[01:49.22]To be getting stronger
[01:50.40]
[01:52.52]I swear there's something in the air
[01:54.09]And I don't know what anyone could say
[01:56.90]
[01:58.10]'Cause I saw it in the news
[01:59.41]This morning there was another
[02:01.62]
[02:04.16]Boy by the side of the road
[02:05.77]He had a gun in his hand
[02:06.92]
[02:08.60]And I thought well
[02:09.53]What could you say to make it ever
[02:11.31]Make sense to his mother
[02:12.86]
[02:15.38]Oh ma'am he was excitable
[02:16.50]We were just trying
[02:17.45]To make him a man
[02:20.39]But the day will come
[02:21.83]When it falls like a cheap house
[02:23.47]Of plastic
[02:24.32]
[02:26.40]And the cards that were dealt
[02:27.66]Will be tossed like a storm in the sky
[02:31.37]'Cause you can only lie for so long
[02:33.94]Before you get something drastic
[02:35.67]
[02:37.49]And the kids are lined up on the wall
[02:39.60]And they're ready to die
[02:41.00]
[02:43.19]And the kids are lined up on the wall
[02:45.27]And they're ready to die
