Rise Against - People Live Here Lyrics
My God is better than yoursAnd the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at allI followed you out in the stormBut it carried you offAnd I burned every picture of yours,Was that not enough?My gun is bigger than yoursSo let's arm the masses and see what the bastards do thenWalking tall once set us apart,now we're down on all forceDo you cry my name in the dark, like I do yoursThese storms are getting stronger now truss all bend and waitLightning hits the power goes out in the frayAs the waves crash high and the shoreline disappearsI will scream to the sky: Hey, people live here!My dreams are not unlike yoursThey long for the safety and break like a glass chandelierBut there's laughter and all about loveJust past the edge of our fearsAnd there's chaos when push comes to shoveBut it's music to my earsMay you be in Heaven before the devil knows you're deadMay these winds be always at your backCuz when we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes usWe will all look at the ashes and say: People lived here!From the penthouse to the holy martyrSea to shining seaFrom the coffins full of kinder gardenersIs this what you call freeFrom the hate that drips from all your crossesAre your hands so cleanAnd the wildfire and it's spreading farFrom sea to shining seaWhen we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes usI will scream to the sky, yeah I'll scream to the skyYeah I'll scream to the sky: Hey, people live here!
