lyrics

A Greater Generation

Has everybody gone insane
I’ve never seen such hate
Give in to fear the end is near
But no one hesitates
I find it sad and narrow minded
This course we’re sailing now
When all you see is heresy
When you look over the bough

But I’ve been hopeful as of late
Though I admit I had my doubts
A greater generation waits
To kick these bastards out

Listen to the silence
And the heartbeats all around
From children far too long laid out
Like cordwood on the ground
Tears they fall like railroad tracks
Rolling down the line
From the seeds of betrayal
Uprooted one more time

But I’ve been hopeful as of late
Though towns and crosses burn
A greater generation waits
In line to take it’s turn

Rise up all you vagabonds
Put on your marching shoes
Ain’t no one said you couldn’t dance
To some old gut bucket blues
And so a child shall lead them
And all are welcome here
Your saints and all your sinners
And all that you hold dear

But I’ve been hopeful as of late
The better angels are aligned
A greater generation waits
No more nevermind
Yes, I’ve been hopeful as of late
Though I admit I had my doubts
A greater generation waits
To kick these bastards out
