Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
I heard a siren from the dock
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town
We're goin' to take a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town
And oh we'll chop you down
Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
And oh whoa-oh dirty old town
Chop you down one of these daysSilence is poetry.
Fire,
The sun is well asleep
The moon is high above
Fire grows from the east.
How is this hate so deep
To lead us all so blindly killing killing?
Fools are we
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop
Raining tears
War the only way to peace?
Well I don't fall for that
Raining tears
You're righteous, so righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Rain tears, rain tears, rain
Oh no
Gracious even God
Bloodied on the cross
Your sins are washed enough.
A mother's cry:
"Is hate so deep?
Must my baby's bones
This hungry fire feed?"
Smoke clouds roll in,
Symphony of death
This is the last stop
Raining tears
Right is wrong now
Ha! Shut up your big lie
The black is white lie
You comb your hair to hide
Your lying eyes
You're righteous, so righteous, so righteous
You're always so right, oh my
But why your lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
This is the last stop
Hate is always blowing up
But I hope that we can break it down
So it's not so black and white, black and white
This is the last stop
Hate is always blowing up
I hope that we can break it down
So it's not so black and white, black and white
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're always so right
But there you are nailing God to a tree
And then say forgive me, forgive me
and then lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Tears rain, tears rain, tears rain
This is the last stop
Hate is more than blowing up
But I hope that we can break it down
It's not so black and white, black and white. i believe i believe
so right
