Lyrics
It was a decade ago we dug into the underground it took them a day to forget our name
We started a fire from here to the coast it took them a day to douse the flame
We came back home and said "why did we leave, there ain't no friends outside of these walls"
These tales of love and of peace of mind are so elusive and yet so tall
Now he walks through his old neighborhood like a cold cold breaze
Where they let the weeds grow and they hacked down all the old trees
They said "this ain't no retreat son, things change don't look so blue
I wouldn't want you to think there's nothing happening without you, but I know that you do"
Oh, tell me it's not true. Oh no we had a plan for you.
The old man said that it's time for you to go and I hope that you boys never stop
He said "life's like a big pot of boiling bones, you know the scum finds its way to the top"
But I've seen some in the bottom and some in the middle and some burning in the fire on the stove
So when you're out making friends take a look at their eyes not their hair, their car, or their clothes.
With no light in the night he can't see what he is to burn
No heat from a house and he's glad for a reason to learn
In the spark the obituaries, headlines, and old jobs for hire
He learns that yesterdays news is only good for today's fire
And today the present will learn that it's been used
And the bomb will try to blame the fuse
