| He was struck by static in the heart
|
| Shot by an appendage from a television tube
|
| And knowing what it meant to be showered with sound
|
| He became a believer, he became a believer
|
| And now he’s slamming down chords
|
| And leading a crowd ten-thousand strong
|
| They’re shouting in unison, shouting in unison
|
| And they’re burning their draft cards
|
| And desecrating photographs
|
| Burnt through the heart by
|
| Static through the heart, static through the heart…
|
| A man crouches on the street with static in his eyes
|
| And takes it as a sign from the gods above
|
| To shout from the rooftops and write letters to the government
|
| He’s writing revelations for the showdown
|
| And now he’s slamming down chords
|
| And leading a crowd ten thousand strong
|
| They’re shouting in unison, shouting in unison
|
| «Mom and dad, wake from your slumbers,
|
| We’re gonna burn this motherfucker down because
|
| Sometimes we burn and steal and rape and kill and sacrifice
|
| Just to remind ourselves that we’re still alive» |
