Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink;
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
I don't want to fake you out
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
You're so damn nonchalant;
But it's your mind that I want.
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
I got nothing left to burn
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Guess it's too late to say the things to you;
That you needed to hear me say.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
time is running backwards
Just do your thing, you'll be king;
If dogs run free.
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Can't you make any sound?
Because something is happening here;
But you don't know what it is;
Do you, Mister Jones?
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face;
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
