Hello all,
I have had this song on my computer for awhile but today after arguing politics and then banning my nephew from my FB page as he has gone full bore Fox (we were never close anyway) this song seems to resonate a lot more.
Innerpartysystem : This Town Your Grave
Lyrics for those who cannot hear or download it.
Face down in a population that God has left behind,
In these barren streets the neon lights will be your guide.
All their limbs are stretched holidng tight what could have been,
No-one here is innocent because we can't forgive.
God made this place a haven for the motionless and weak,
A paradise of endless hope no progress to be seen.
The houses are abandoned by those who could escape.
While we will be the future and you,
You will never change.
Washing your hands in blood won't take away the stain.
Since there's no room in heaven, He made this town,
This town, your grave.
The cross they bear,
A burden that they just can't stand.
They're holding on to nothing, time is slipping through their hands.
So easily they point the finger the first to pass the blame.
While we will be the future and you,
YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE.
YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE.
Washing your hands in blood won't take away the stain.
Since there's no room in heaven, he made this town,
This town, your grave.
(Stop.. This town is your grave)
(YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE.)
Washing your hands in blood won't take away the stain.
Since there's no room in heaven, he made this town,
This town, your grave.
Republicans don't want change, they don't want hope, they don't want progress. They survive on fear, on hopelessness and degradation. When you hear the emotion in the singers voice it is the sound of all the millions of people in this country that want to destroy the current incarnation of the Republican party. At least today that is what it feels like for me.
