lyrics

I Will Kill You Last in the Revolution

Pack up your bullets, save your razors
In the bathroom, I met your savior
When eighty bucks and teenager used
To last all week.

When we railed against the wrong
Singing protest songs
The suicide kings
And the drama queens.

The highways were mercy
Wyoming the worst we’d see
Across deserts that bloomed
From barren wombs

And beer and meth and your best guess
couldn't buy us another sadder day.
Nothing was funny but we laughed
beneath the underpass.

Now all those things my heroes said
Before they were dead
Ring like holidays
In the brightest colors of night.

And we were wrong about so much
The rage, the right, and the drugs
But we never pissed our best years away
In a box or factory.

And when you crawl back from hell
There’s nothing to process or sell
No god that any
Of the bastards believe

You see through the lies
The promise of afterlives
You learn to seize
What you can smell, taste, breath.

Monkeys dance in madman plans
News flash with racists
You savor the blade, savor the burn
Celebrate all those parts that still hurt.

A storm is coming soon
The dark clouds are rolling in.
Soon you’ll have to choose
Which hill you’ll die on.

When you lost the human race
Angels and demons save face.
Brother, the bank
Doesn’t hand out loans for free.

The sad and sorrow
Won’t buy another tomorrow
Never mind the cash, you don't have to ask
In the revolution, I will kill you last.
