Killing Pride
05:08

What if I had spoken with my own voice
What if I had just made my own choice
What if I had just ignored the noise
Life is not a destination
This is not a recitation
What if I could turn and start again
Blame and shame and flail in vain
Hold my head above the pain
Mourn my losses
Lick my wounds
Can't kill my pride
But I try
I try
Scale another wall just to drop again
Better change my point of view
Flush all self pity, you self-indulgent baby
Now, don't you know
Your belly is full
But what if I could tower in your eyes
What if I could thunder in your sky
Take my place in history
Come along with me
Not gonna die wondering "what if I"
Blame and shame and flail in vain
Hold my head above the pain
Mourn my losses
Bless my heart
And hope the pride
Will soon die
What if I had listened with my own voice
What if I had just made my own choice
What if I had just ignored the noise
What if I
What if I
Blame and shame and flail in vain
Hold my head above the pain
Mourn my losses
Lick my wounds
Can't kill my pride
But I try
Blame and shame and flail in vain
Hold my head above the pain
Mourn my losses
Bless my heart
And hope the pride
Will soon die

Head in the Sand

Love, I know why I play the joker
With my head in the sand I won't feel this
'Cuz the feeling goes away when I refuse to believe it
I see it now, clearly
Like a cold, frozen river flowing nowhere
With my head in the ice I won't feel this
'Cuz the feeling goes away when I refuse to feed it
With my head in your hands I can face this
'Cuz the feeling doesn't stand a chance
In places where you stand

Grievance
04:31

We're in a whole lot of shit
Freedom don't come easy
Tell me this, Mr. Pacifist
From a long lost time before all of this
Don't lie baby
Some government daddy
Come knocking the door with a gat
Now, would you change your mind?
You bet your life
Gather your guns
Time to run to the capitol
Don't you wave your flags
If you wouldn't die holding them
There's revolution in the air
You've come to take back the rainbow promise God gave you
He hears your grievances
He plans to save you
You've stayed years in deep fear
Come miles to be here
Suffered the media's bullshit distortion
So come with your arms
Raise the dead
Finally end the burning in your head
God loves you
Are your ready for the war
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
Come with your guns for the common good
