| Just lie back and close your eyes
|
| Listen to the war on the radio
|
| Fire up the light of the world in your hands
|
| Feel what it’s tryin' to tell you
|
| There’re so many things to buy
|
| Desolation chief among them
|
| There’re so many ways to die
|
| We’re dyin' slow
|
| Have you walked in your dreams through the ruin and the raze
|
| With the sky a dyin' crimson
|
| And the copper of your blood for the bead and the braze
|
| In the golden age of television?
|
| Go ahead and take a look around
|
| See the world before it’s gone
|
| You know the sun is goin' down
|
| On everything you ever known
|
| But don’t turn away
|
| You can’t turn away
|
| Did you drink from the well 'til you had your fill
|
| Your reflection bright upon it?
|
| When they stole everything they couldn’t buy or kill
|
| Did you slake your heart with the profits?
|
| I still believe in rock 'n' roll
|
| I don’t care what they try to sell you
|
| There’s nothin' bought and nothin' sold
|
| Where the soul of man never dies |
