The Violent Years

Cage the birds! No flight's safe When my cold knife is on the wing Cut to sing! Any place I land is taken, well I'll be Breathe so hoarse and heavy, you can't sleep Just beneath your window The hungry ghosts that Allen saw Are the youth of your nation, haunting your houses Gut the birds! We might as well eat It'll be a long winter trapped indoors Doing our makeup under the sun of our Carbon Madonna, dry as whores Air conditioning drowns our cries for help And my tongue, it swims enough The hungry ghosts that Allen saw Are the youth of your nation, haunting your planet Rattling cans, our little youth anthem Empty and wasted, cold to the touch Rattling cans, our little youth anthem Only important in what we can take Rattling cans, our little youth anthem But it's about to break Into something you can't control Something you cannot hold Schutzstaffel standard of living Don't want your stolen car or television Electrified cross, promise of relevance Promise of attention On a hill you stole from the Indians Do you think you won? I can take my own picture Rattling cans, our little youth anthem Empty and wasted, cold to the touch Rattling cans, our little youth anthem Only important in what we can take Rattling cans, our little youth anthem But it's about to break Cage the birds This new guilded age is going to end today Ground the flights I am playing dirty as your senate seat And I don't really give a shit About what your hybrid did, anyway We've lost that lovin' feelin We've lost that lovin' feelin We burn like coal and we rise like heat We burn like coal and we rise like heat We're your children, and we've come to eat And we won't lick your clay anymore Your graven images and burials are through
