Rise Against "People Live Here" testo

People Live Here

My God is better than yoursAnd the walls of my house are so thickI hear nothing at all

I followed you out in the stormBut it carried you offAnd I burned every picture of yoursWas that not enough?

My gun is bigger than yoursSo let's arm the massesAnd see what the bastards do thenWalking tall once set us apartNow we're down on all foursDo you cry my name in the darkLike I do yours?

These storms are getting stronger nowTrusses all bend and swayLightning hits, the power goes out in the frayAs the waves crash highAnd the shoreline disappearsI will scream to the sky"Hey, people live here."

My dreams are not unlike yoursThey long for the safetyAnd break like a glass chandelierBut there's laughter and oh there is loveJust past the edge of our fearsAnd there's chaos when push comes to shoveBut it's music to my ears

May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're deadMay these winds be always at your back

'Cause when we're all just ghostsAnd the madness overtakes usWe will look at the ashesAnd say, "People lived here."

From the penthouse to the holy martyrSea to shining seaFrom the coffins full of kindergartenersIs this what you call free?From the hate that drips from all your crossesAre your hands so clean?

There's a wildfire and it's spreading farFrom sea to shining sea

When we're all just ghostsAnd 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."
