Sister called
She said
Mark where are you
I said
I'm on my way from Milan
Italy to Bologna
She said
I'm glad you're not anywhere
Near nice France
She said
Ninety four people just died there
In a terrorist attack
They were out
Celebrating
Bastille day
Some crazy f**k
Plowed through them
With the truck
Throwing hand grenades
People scattered about
And some took refuge
In the sea
I said
Don't worry little sister
Everything's okay here with me
Things aren't okay
In this crazy f**king world
No place is safe for mothers
Or fathers
Of the boys of the girls
Yeah
Things are a mess
On this crazy f**king planet
People getting slaughtered left and right
North and south
And east and west
Goddammit
Hate is at it's peak
On this crazy f**king planet
People getting slaughtered like cattle
Goddamm
People getting massacred over and over
And it's oppressing our spirit
And our faith in humanity
It's impossible not
To feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Elementary schools
Ask newtown about that
Or Denver
Colorado about that purple haired f**k
Who went and saw batman
Or Paris
France about the eagles of death metal
Actually don't mention that one
'Cause for them
The dust is still not settled
Virginia tech kid showing off his ak
To subs on the internet
Tomorrow we're gonna be at the
Brussels train station
Terrorism doesn't end
Does it
Bombs going off
At train stations
And office buildings
And airports
Turn on the news
For the latest death toll report
And as we're driving
I look out off from the bales of hay
I hate to say it
But on that guy
Who ruined Bastille day
I hoped the cops
Put ninety four bullets
Down his f**king brains
It pours
It pours
It pours
It pours
It pours
And it pours when it rains
People in France
Are in debilitating pain today
So send some love
And if you don't then
Hang your f**king head in shame
If you believe in god
Say my father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name but
Forgiving those who trespass against us
Is in f**king sane
Went for a walk
Around my hotel
In Milan
Pink or white oleanders
Flourishing on the hotel lawn
I saw a lizard
On the sidewalk
And he scurried away
This tour has been a grind
And it was nice to get out
And breathe the air
Today
Now we're in the van
And we're going to stop
For Italian food
Someone said
Hey
On the other hand
Did you hear the positive news
Mick Jagger announced his girlfriend's pregnancy
He's seventy two
She's a ballerina
In her 20's
Hey I gotta admit
I kinda envy that dude
When my grandpa
Was seventy two
He was being fed
Baby food
With a plastic spoon
His eyes were like a fish
That's faded gray and blue
And off his chin
The candy stripers
Were
Wiping off his drool
And we're in the van
So fed on wars
King for a day
Our driver Francesco
Listens to this one
To keep himself awake
And as we drive I think
About the future of my nieces
I hope the world in her 20's
Hasn't been
Blown to f**king pieces
And as we drive
And I'm looking at tall skinny pines
Alone never ever ever
Ever ever ever ever
Ever had to actualize
It's my last summer being forty nine
Considering everything
I gotta say
I'm doing fine
Thought I'm gonna sing
This song in Bologna tonight
I'm gonna sing it for france
And burn a candle for them tonight
And if rush is out there
Somewhere on tour today
I hope for France
They're playing caress of steel's
Bastille day
And when they're marching
On Bastille day
For nice France
That day is never gonna be the same
And when they're marching
On bastille day
For nice France
That day is never gonna be the same
While they were marching
On Bastille day
A guillotine had
Claimed her bloody prayer
While they were marching
On Bastille day
A guillotine had
Claimed her bloody prayer
While they were marching
On Bastille day
A guillotine had
Claimed her bloody prayer
While they were marching
On Bastille day
