[Verse 1]
We took the highway till the road went black
We marked Truth Or Consequences on our map
A voice drifted up from the radio
We saw the voice from long ago
[Chorus]
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
[Verse 2]
The kids asleep in the backseat
We're just counting the miles you and me
We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore
We just stack the bodies outside the door
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
The wise men were all fools
What to do
[Verse 3]
The sun sets in flames as the city burns
Another day gone down as the night turns
And I hold you here in my heart
As things fall apart
A downtown window flushed with light
Faces of the dead at five (faces of the dead at five)
A martyr's silent eyes
Petition the drivers as we pa** by
[Chorus]
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break
Who'll be the last to die
[Chorus]
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
The last to die for a mistake
Darling your tyrants and kings form the same fate
Strung up at your city gates
And you're the last to die for a mistake
