The Face

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They arrive on a sunny day Offering the residents a better way Before you know it, you're in line And chanting refrain They reel you in And then they drown you out [Verse 2] First, they tell ya "You're gonna lose your soul" And then they tell ya "Find another home" And then ya take a good look around And they stole your rock and roll And once it's gone, you'll never get it back [Chorus] One thousand Les Pauls Burning in a field What rabid religion Poisons their minds? One thousand Jazzmasters Thrown into the sea What measure of madness Governs their time? [Post-Chorus] All right [Verse 3] In the beginning There was void The hand moved over Then there was noise Fire and water Heaven and stone Radio kings Hammer and throne [Chorus] One thousand Les Pauls Smolder in a field What measure of madness Fastens their hearts? One thousand Jazzmasters Sunk down to the bottom of the sea What rabid religion Drives them apart? [Verse 4] In the beginning There was void The face moved over Then there was noise Fire and water Heaven and stone Radio kings Hammer and throne [Chorus 1] Uncounted Les Pauls Ascend to the sky Where there was darkness Now only light Uncounted Jazzmasters Rising up from the bottom of the sea The wicked are leveled The righteous are free [Chorus 2] Uncounted Les Pauls Explode and take flight Where there was darkness Now only light Uncounted Jazzmasters Erupting from the bottom of the sea The wicked are leveled The righteous are free
