lyrics

I was too young to go and fight in that new war, I didn't know if it was a curse or a blessing, all these kids are coming back home from Iraq now, glassy eyed as hell and it's so depressing how we said "Oh it won't be like Vietnam this time, no you won't be remembered that way." Free cheeseburgers at the local restaurant, half price admission to the matinee.

And that school finally let go of that teacher who wouldn't talk about Harriet Beecher Stowe, she said that book was exaggerated and there were parents who were sad to see her go, cuz they teach us by bad examples.

I remember asking the woman at First Baptist, I must've been only 10 or 11 when I met a kid named Osman Yusafzai and I asked her if he would go to Heaven. I was reading ahead on my own time, it was all about loaves and fishes and anointing the sores on the feet of lepers and camels passing through the eyes of needles

But no one is keen to the irony all the disonance in the way that this city sings in the gated off neighborhoods with the golf course and the club house and the camera surveillance to protect our precious things

And oh I was born to believe in this vision and immediate authority and the way it's all painted, in the niceness of stop lights and four lane expansions and how my school of excellence shall never be tainted

Someone teach me to give in to the hubris, to follow the greed in my heart with conviction, somebody teach me I how I can stop worrying and learn to love this contradiction
