[00:13.26]In city shoes
[00:13.65]Of clueless blues
[00:14.34]Pays the views
[00:14.67]And no mans news
[00:15.21]Blades will fade from blood to sport
[00:17.73]The ******** cut these fuses short
[00:19.05]Drink and frame this pain I think
[00:22.77]I'm melting silver poles my dear
[00:26.37]You bleed your wings and then disappear
[00:31.95]Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
[00:33.57]Modern times come talk me down
[00:35.82]And battle lines are drawn across this town
[00:39.60]Ghetto stones instead of chains
[00:41.13]And nothing's changed
[00:43.44]Riot like 1968 again
[00:43.89]The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
[00:46.11]Well pretty flames
[00:47.16]In school I would just bite my tongue
[00:56.43]The flags are false and they contradict
[00:59.43]They point and click which wounds to lick
[01:01.29]On avenues this christian breeze
[01:03.21]Turns it's heart to more needles please
[01:09.96]Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
[01:13.77]It frays this skin and then underscore
[01:17.97]The case for war you spin and bleed
[01:49.44]The sales you feel screensavers feed
[01:50.16]The girls you breed the soaps that you write
[01:54.09]The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
[01:56.01]The moving scenes and suburbanites
[01:58.86]And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
[02:02.07]Modern times come talk me down
[02:06.90]The battle lines are drawn across this town
[02:14.40]Ghetto stones instead of chains
[02:15.09]Hearts and minds and US Planes
[02:25.32]Nothing's changed
[02:26.55]Riot like the 1980's again
[02:28.89]The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
[02:34.56]More pretty flames
