Lyrics

I'm taking time, working on the shine in my shoes, My knees are all bent and bruised, My skin is older then I can imagine, We gather together, we burnt records, bras and books and Oh the weather, was damn near perfect that day, And I remember your smile, was wonderful and straight I couldn't hardly wait, to part those lips and see inside, But did you hear those mourning bells the loud sound of those sirens swell, Tell the town and the people there, Things will never be the same, I'll be a scientists, I'll make measurements and lists, And run experiments, and while I am waiting, They're gunna validate my parking, But I wont be surprised, when all of my results, turn up elsewise, I heard them saying, they're trying to take away everything we live for, they're gunna kick the locks off our doors wait and see, they'll call us dirty thieves, you would not believe what they do while we're asleep Should we board the windows, burn the walls Our passions run like waterfalls, Tell the town and the people there, They're taking us away So I fought 'em, I picked up a bayonet, And sealed my coffin, the walls were all padded with cotton My bones are all old and rotten, with the sensation of being forgotten, That's how we lose, history doesn't pick and chose No this is how it really goes, History just blows its nose out upon the pages and what sticks will last for ages but not me No not me.
