From zero to sixty In one or two lifetimes Can't find the criminal Just follow the pipeline I'll sing for my supper Of fuel sand and shot And pray that the cannons Will pound the guilt I've got Unwilling to negotiate They fire from the precipice An army of grizzlies Divide up the rest of us The problem I have With the movie is just that The cameras were shaky And just missed the bloodbath An ash-covered highway Silent and frozen I dreamed that you held me It was me you were holdin' I stood in the whirlwind Of shrapnel and sawdust Outside of the motel And then it was just us The borders are closin' No one goes in or out The a**ets all frozen In sixteen Swiss bank accounts A red raging migraine A fear of hegemony I looked back, I heard the shot My friend said, "Wasn't me" How can you sit back and wait? The battle is raging Hold on man, I'm comin' Just straightening my cage first
Three hundred closed caskets A world famous symphony Of angry ghosts singin' And marching from Wounded Knee An ash-covered highway Silent and frozen I dreamed that you held me It was me you were holdin' I stood in the whirlwind Of shrapnel and sawdust Outside of the motel And then it was just us A colonial investment In steel ore and iron The natives are restless Can't blame 'em for tryin' The lightning blows through The legion it enters The hail it follows And smashes the center I sit 'round the table Of strangers and friends My dad knows it's comin' Still, he pretends My brother, he smiles Reveals the secret The stepmother shudders She just can't believe it An ash-covered highway Silent and frozen I dreamed that you held me It was me you were holdin' I stood in the whirlwind Of shrapnel and sawdust Outside of the motel And then it was just us [x2] Then it was just us
