[00:11.72] He was the poster child of miserable.
[00:14.22] He was in love with colored boy.
[00:16.66] No chance for hope in a land of servitude.
[00:19.12]
[00:21.76] And now the ghosts of Alexandria
[00:24.26] Hang in the halls like the boys on the oak,
[00:26.81] To remind us that we're only 13 knots away
[00:30.10] From repeating our mistakes.
[00:34.62] No one can see on the inside,
[00:37.01] No one can hear on the outside,
[00:39.51] No one will speak the name to blame.
[00:43.06] The dead sing: "It's not over."
[00:44.80] It's not over...
[01:04.09]
[01:04.99] She was poster child of ritual.
[01:07.54] She was in love with the U.S.A.
[01:09.96] She was from some place but she could not tell us where.
[01:15.26] And now the ghosts of Alexandria
[01:17.70] Labor the field like amber waves of grain,
[01:20.31] To remind us that we are only a minimum wage away
[01:24.37] A bowl of rice a day
[01:26.24] From repeating our mistakes.
[01:27.12]
[01:28.48] It's not over...
[01:43.54] No one can see on the inside.
[01:45.78] No one can hear on the outside.
[01:48.20] No one will speak the name to blame.
[01:51.74] The dead sing.
[01:53.06] And we watched the summer turn to the autumn of glory...
[01:58.17] And we watched the summer turn to the autumn of glory...
