about

Written just after the invasion of Iraq...

lyrics

All lined up like wolves on the road through the fog of what began as an early morning war
Holdin my breath, we were holding our heads in our hands in the air of old familiar warnings
Witness to the evil bald eagles overhead, hell I haven't laid eyes on a dove in a long long time
Well there'll never be peace by a god or by man, and freedom's locked down in a bomb-proof can

All we alive are waiting on you to set the precedent
All we alive been waitng on you for a long long time

Now raisin' my fists only raises my temperature, never ever raisin' any awareness between your ears
And certainly sittin' stoned criticizin' your principles I could hardly be aware of anything between my ears
But if I could change myself, I could change my family, in turn change community, and influence the whole damn world
And failing that I'll run naked, flag in my hand through the streets and the radiowaves with a brand new song

All we alive are waiting on you to set the precedent
All we alive are waitng on you for a long long time

No more pupetteering presidential bucchaneering coke credentials playing on fictitious weapons buried in the CIA
One'd think you'd know better, listening in on people's chatter, tapping into colour coded schemes
Here and there, everywhere troops are deployed, Lady Liberty lost her virginity a long long time ago
Holdin my breath, we're still holding our heads in our hands in th air of old familiar warnings

All we alive are waiting on you to set the precedent
All we alive been waitng on you for a long long time
All we alive are waiting on you to kill the president
All we alive been waitng on you, yeah for a long long time
