lyrics

The diamonds are in the rough
They’re makin’ deals with the undertaker
Her wings came way too soon
We’re living proof

“So don’t, don’t, don’t
(don’t, don’t, don’t)
Stand in the way or protest
And we won’t, won’t, won’t
(won’t, won’t, won’t)
Asphyxiate all of you”

I spent my life in amber waves, I ain’t goin’ out in the woods
Your god gave you the means to kill, but that doesn’t mean that you should
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, my friends - there’s shelter on the open ground!”
Yeah, we’ll take the long way around…

He ran through the halls on high
Classes still in session
“Oh, what a delicate kid…”
Ha - I guess he’s got no pigment

So don’t, don’t, don’t
(don’t, don’t, don’t)
Forget your thoughts and prayers
And we won’t, won’t, won’t
(won’t, won’t, won’t)
Forget that’s all you did

I spent my life in amber waves, I ain’t goin’ out in the woods
Your god gave you the means to kill, but that doesn’t mean that you should
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, my friends - there’s shelter on the open ground!”
Yeah, we’ll take the long way around…

You say that it makes sense
But that doesn’t make it so
We’re flying at half mast
We are, we are alone
You say that it’s alright
Vilomahs would disagree
What’ve they paid you to make it so?

I spent my life in amber waves, I ain’t goin’ out in the woods
Your god gave you the means to kill, but that doesn’t mean that you should
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, my friends - there’s shelter on the open ground!”
Yeah, we’ll take the long way around…
