[00:20.23]Hey there, son of Adam
[00:23.64]Hey there, daughter of Eve
[00:26.01]Help me sing this tear gas riot song
[00:28.81]For some fresh-faced police
[00:31.39]They won't even know what hit them
[00:33.77]When they lift their Roman shades
[00:36.30]And the people's sun comes pouring in
[00:38.91]On a brand new day
[00:42.42]
[00:51.57]You who dammed the river
[00:54.49]You changed our mountain's name
[00:57.17]First we want Denali back
[00:59.77]Then we're taking over Washington state
[01:02.20]You get death as a consolation
[01:04.67]You know only hate and rage
[01:07.20]You paid a dowry for your child bride
[01:09.97]And now she's living like a slave
[01:14.42]
[01:17.73]A prayer came down the wire
[01:20.04]It was all in the enemy's code
[01:22.93]You couldn't figure out what mercy meant
[01:25.29]So you did like you were told
[01:27.73]When they finally sent the doctors
[01:30.28]Once the fireball went out
[01:33.08]There was nothing left but the cockroaches
[01:35.74]And a movie with no sound
[01:40.30]
[01:42.56]What good, what good are you
[01:47.93]With your Cherokee trail and your Roosevelt Room?
[01:53.53]What good, what good are you
[01:58.59]With your cynical plague and your Arlington tomb?
[02:04.30]
[02:11.55]Go ask Hunter Thompson
[02:15.21]Go ask Hemingway's ghost
[02:17.59]It all catches up with you
[02:19.93]Once you get just a little too old
[02:22.58]Take a hard look in the mirror
[02:24.88]It's a thing that you cannot see
[02:27.58]Your shadow's long but the day is young
[02:30.22]It just wasn't meant to be
[02:34.49]
[02:42.54]There's no blankets for the winter
[02:45.95]There's no oil in the lamp
[02:48.46]And I'd like to write my congressman
[02:50.97]But I can't afford the stamp
[02:53.55]You want me to pay my taxes
[02:56.16]So you can propagate your lie
[02:58.57]While there's barefoot dudes down in New Orleans
[03:01.33]Looking like they're going to die
[03:05.59]
[03:13.53]You who quote the legends
[03:16.50]You who poisoned all of my dreams
[03:18.97]You who pinned all of the medals on
[03:21.55]All those boys from Omaha Beach
[03:24.07]Hope you haven't got too lazy
[03:26.64]I know you like your apple pie
[03:29.26]Because the working poor you've been pissing on
[03:31.80]Are doing double shifts tonight
[03:35.85]
[03:39.50]What good, what good are you
[03:44.11]With your cynical plague and your Arlington tomb?
[03:49.50]What good, what good are you
[03:54.50]With your Cherokee trail and your Roosevelt Room?
