| We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web | |
| We must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read | |
| And in the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair | |
| We must stare, we must stare, we must stare | |
| We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell | |
| Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell | |
| And in the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn't dream | |
| We must sing, we must sing, we must sing | |
| And it'll go like this, all right: | |
| While my mother waters plants my father loads his gun | |
| He says, "Death will give us back to God, | |
| Just like the setting sun | |
| Is returned to the lonesome ocean" | |
| And then they splashed into the deep blue sea | |
| Oh, it was a wonderful splash | |
| We must blend into the choir, sing a static with the whole | |
| We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul | |
| And in this endless race for property and privilege to be won | |
| We must run, we must run, we must run | |
| We must hang up in the belfry where the bats and moonlight laugh | |
| We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past | |
| And in the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love | |
| We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge | |
| And then we'll get down there, | |
| Way down to the very bottom of everything | |
| And then we'll see it, oh, we'll see it!, we'll see it!, we’ll see it! | |
| Oh, my morning's coming back, | |
| The whole world’s waking up | |
| All the city buses swimming past, | |
| I'm happy just because | |
| I found out I am really no one |
