[00:11.63]In city shoes
[00:25.15]Of clueless blues
[00:31.96]Pays the views
[00:36.20]And no-mans news
[00:40.38]Blades will fade from blood to sport
[01:04.00]The heroin's cut these fuses short
[01:18.62]Drink and frame this pain I think
[01:24.57]I'm melting silver poles my dear
[01:37.30]You bleed your wings and then disappear
[01:42.35]Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
[01:48.02]Modern times come talk me down
[01:53.02]And battle lines are drawn across this town
[02:18.10]Ghetto stones instead of chains
[02:32.47]And nothing's changed
[02:56.37]Riot like 1968 again
[03:15.96]The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
[03:34.19]Well pretty flames
[03:39.40]In school I would just bite my tongue
[03:54.97]The flags are false and they contradict
[04:07.99]They point and click which wounds to lick
[04:26.58]On avenues this christian breeze
[04:43.12]Turns it's heart to more needles please
[04:53.67]Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
[05:04.82]It frays this skin and then underscore
[05:32.12]The case for war you spin and bleed
[05:54.66]The sales you feel screensavers feed
[06:06.33]The girls you breed the soaps that you write
[06:12.31]The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
[06:17.93]The moving scenes and suburbanites
[06:24.12]And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
[06:37.49]Modern times come talk me down
[06:53.48]The battle lines are drawn across this town
[07:00.01]Ghetto stones instead of chains
[07:08.41]Hearts and minds and US Planes
[07:13.93]Nothing's changed
[07:15.22]Riot like the 1980's again
[07:27.47]The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
[07:38.58]More pretty flames
