There were three lanes dividing the divine highway 
With heaven above
And with hell below
And yet lower than that was the earth
Some of the time we are love
Yet all of the times; love is there

The photograph
The priestess and the Heresy
But I’m not scared
And I don’t know why you seem afraid

Revolution came so close
I felt the fire burning but my heart
was beating slow
I felt it coming close

But closer yet
The feeling of the snowflakes on my nose
The sun is back
To free us all from yesterday

Revolution came so close
Dreaming of some perfect world for 
For all of us
For all of us

For All Of Us

September 9th, 1971
Watch how they run
Prisoners broke from the cells that were holding them
Screaming “Now We Are Free”
Tear gas and bullets will put you in your place
If you step out of line

Bullets wIll blow out your brain if you dare to dream
But don't stop trying
You know they’d probably kill you for much less
You know they would

Attica came and it went in a single flash
All things must pass

Attica (Don't Stop Trying)

The clock was melting off the wall
Felt like I was running out of time
All the birds
They were singing along
The fire in the sky that I had followed
To the corner of the globe
It was brighter
than anything else

Most of us will never see a happy ending
Running round in circles like some bastards
Shoot me with a six shot gun, my lady
I’m running round in circles like a bastard

But I need you

I’m coming down and staying down
I'll be sure that I don't make a sound
And I ran like a dog all the way to my grandfather’s house
It was sadder than anywhere else

Most of us will never see a happy ending
Running round in circles like some bastards
Shoot me with a six shot gun, my lady
Im running round in circles like a bastard

But I need you..

Six Shot Gun (Bonus Track)

Waking up from a sick wet dream
Cant take part in your government scheme

Watch them growing fat with all the cash that they've been stuffing in their mouths

Plants still grow from the cracks in the concrete walls
I'm a true believer
Suffocate the world with an iron grip (no… no, no, no)
But the punk rock kids all lost their faith

When the angels all return to earth you know you'll be the first to go
Cause you folks were a cancer on the earth it seems like you've outgrown your use

True Believer?

We’re all going out
We’re going together
Our final days on earth
I think it’s pretty

I’d rather die right now
Than live forever
‘Cause forever is right now
And it’s fleeting

So here’s to all my friends
And all my opponents
Who got so close
To being immortal
Used to think I needed help  
To define who I was

All my heroes died
No, I don't fight to win
I fight because I must
Prove that I exist

We’re all gonna die
But we’ll die together
Our final days on earth
I think it’s pretty
We’re all gonna die
But we’ll die together
Our final days on earth
I think it’s pretty
It's pretty strange
It's pretty strange 

All my heroes died
But I am still alive
I fight because I must
Prove that I have lived
