Lyrics

[00:21.10] In city shoes
[00:22.66] Of clueless blues
[00:24.45] Pays the views
[00:25.89] And no-mans news
[00:27.76] Blades will fade from blood to sport
[00:31.06] The heroin's cut these fuses short
[00:34.39] Smokers rode a colonial pig
[00:37.73] Drink and frame this pain i think
[00:40.99] I'm melting silver poles my dear
[00:44.36] You bleed your wings and then disappear
[00:47.62] The moving scenes and pilot lights
[00:51.13] Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
[00:54.41] Modern times come talk me down
[00:57.71] And battle lines are drawn across this town
[01:01.09] Parisian boys without your names
[01:04.44] Ghetto stones instead of chains
[01:07.75] Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames
[01:11.06] And nothing's changed
[01:13.44]
[01:14.44] Parisian boys without your names
[01:17.75] Riot like 1968 again
[01:21.06] The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
[01:24.29] Well pretty flames
[01:26.06]
[01:27.35] In school i would just bite my tongue
[01:31.04] And now your words they strike me down
[01:34.35] The flags are false and they contradict
[01:37.66] They point and click which wounds to lick
[01:41.08] On avenues this christian breeze
[01:44.41] Turns its heart to more needles please
[01:47.75] Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
[01:51.07] It frays this skin and then underscore
[01:54.36] The case for war you spin and bleed
[01:57.71] The sales you feel screensavers feed
[02:01.05] The girls you breed the soaps that you write
[02:04.39] The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
[02:07.70] The moving scenes and suburbanites
[02:11.05] And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
[02:14.38] Modern times come talk me down
[02:17.72] The battle lines are drawn across this town
[02:21.10] English boys without your names
[02:24.47] Ghetto stones instead of chains
[02:27.72] Hearts and minds and u.s. Planes
[02:31.10] Nothing's changed
[02:33.34]
[02:34.44] And english boys without your names
[02:37.81] Riot like the 1980's again
[02:41.00] The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
[02:44.25] More pretty flames
[02:46.67]
[03:14.37]
[04:55.18]
[05:17.07] END
