[00:17.00]Put your guns out on the table
[00:19.36]Throw your bullets on the floor
[00:21.74]This weary old house can''t take it anymore
[00:26.31]From the ovens in the kitchen
[00:28.61]To the chains out in the dirt
[00:30.73]Rope hanging in the bedroom
[00:32.74]That''s some of our dirty work
[00:37.74]
[00:43.61]The distant sleeping shadows
[00:46.48]That lie out in the yard
[00:48.79]The wind that distorts the meanings
[00:51.00]Of who we really are
[00:53.10]Saluting of ourselves
[00:55.51]As we pass by our mirrors
[00:57.83]This show of phony adulation
[01:00.15]Just masquerades all our fears
[01:05.10]
[01:10.78]So we open up our eyes at midnight
[01:13.75]See the setting of the sun
[01:16.07]Foundation is crumbling
[01:18.21]The inner structure''s gone
[01:20.52]Used up by corruption
[01:22.80]And the passage of time
[01:25.10]We hope we''ve got some fight left
[01:27.29]Cause our children
[01:28.66]Our children are dying
[01:32.25]
[01:38.30]So we think that forgiveness
[01:40.92]Is a God given right
[01:43.44]And equality for all
[01:45.40]Is just a waste of our time
[01:47.72]With our nickel plated Jesus
[01:50.00]Chained around are necks
[01:52.37]Handing out verses of scripture
[01:54.66]Like we wrote it down ourselves
[01:59.88]
[02:24.25]Respect that we once had
[02:26.64]Went up the water spout
[02:28.75]Tried to keep it secret
[02:30.79]But the secret was found out
[02:32.84]Got to thinking high and mighty
[02:35.21]Like everything was a lock
[02:37.37]Some now say this house
[02:39.45]Can be taken without a shot
[02:46.00]
[02:52.37]So the hole gets dug deeper
[02:54.79]With every wedding bell
[02:57.09]And we sell each other down the road
[02:59.22]Until there''s nothing left to sell
[03:01.57]And slowly but surely
[03:03.84]We disappear without a trace
[03:06.12]We point our fingers at each other
[03:08.20]And say what the hell happened to this place
[03:14.52]Without a shot
[03:19.02]Without a shot
[03:23.59]Without a shot
