All these inanimate places
feel like they're changing
And the kids all lined up on
the wall look like they're
ready to die
feel like they're changing
And the kids all lined up on
the wall look like they're
ready to die
These forms they're sending me
it's like they just rearrange them
We were caged up like animals
questioned and ready to cry
it's like they just rearrange them
We were caged up like animals
questioned and ready to cry
'Cause I was just 13 when
I got my first taste of danger
Standing by the church
I had a bottle and a pen
in my hand.
Oh I said Father, I'm sorry
I just don't know what to do
with this anger
And this behavior is correctable
I know this wasn't part
of your plan
I got my first taste of danger
Standing by the church
I had a bottle and a pen
in my hand.
Oh I said Father, I'm sorry
I just don't know what to do
with this anger
And this behavior is correctable
I know this wasn't part
of your plan
Oh but punks like us, we were
always receiving instruction
And you could burn our clothes
you could wash out the ink
and the dye
always receiving instruction
And you could burn our clothes
you could wash out the ink
and the dye
But you can't look me in the eye
and say you don't feel like
a little destruction
And the kids are lined up on the
wall and they're ready to die
And the kids are lined up on the
wall and they're ready to die
and say you don't feel like
a little destruction
And the kids are lined up on the
wall and they're ready to die
And the kids are lined up on the
wall and they're ready to die
All these days just seem like
they're getting longer
The view from my room is a
gloomy and overcast grey
The weakness we left behind
seems to be getting stronger
I swear there's something
in the air, and I don't know
what anyone could say
they're getting longer
The view from my room is a
gloomy and overcast grey
The weakness we left behind
seems to be getting stronger
I swear there's something
in the air, and I don't know
what anyone could say
'Cause I saw it in the news
this morning, there was another
Boy by the side of the road
he had a gun in his hand
this morning, there was another
Boy by the side of the road
he had a gun in his hand
And I thought
Well what could you say to
make it ever make sense
to his mother
Oh ma'am, he was excitable
we were just trying to
make him a man
Well what could you say to
make it ever make sense
to his mother
Oh ma'am, he was excitable
we were just trying to
make him a man
But the day will come when it
falls like a cheap house of plastic
And the cards that were dealt
will be tossed like a storm
in the sky
'Cause you can only lie
for so long before you get
something drastic
And the kids are lined up on the
wall and they're ready to die
And the kids are lined up on the
wall and they're ready to die
falls like a cheap house of plastic
And the cards that were dealt
will be tossed like a storm
in the sky
'Cause you can only lie
for so long before you get
something drastic
And the kids are lined up on the
wall and they're ready to die
And the kids are lined up on the
wall and they're ready to die
