Mass Ave

I will wait here with this giant bulls-eye on my chest
Young and innocent; no more, I'll be your best damn target yet
Wipe the spit from my face when I answer which side I'm on
Remove me from this echo chamber and let my words stand on their own
Amidst the hate and the never ending wreckage from our mistakes

We see the tanks roll down Massachusetts Avenue

Between horizon suns and pendant around your neck
Soldiers, martyrs trading faces; protection or revenge
The lowest we've ever felt is the only time that we felt real
Pushed off from the lap of fate by the power-hungry hands of free will
That hold us in place as time stands still

We see the tanks roll down Massachusetts Avenue

I don't wanna die for a mistake
I don't see the difference in the lives you give and those you take
One and the same
Peace through war
The world won't change

We see the tanks roll down Massachusetts Avenue

Say goodbye to me and you and say hello to the new world order
