Summer of Ghosts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Names and faces, floating traces Memories of the lives we wasted Weighing heavy in the air Empty halls and burning buildings Deadly plague and brutal killings State of the nation's disrepair, oh State of the nation's disrepair State of the nation's disrepair, oh State of the nation's disrepair State of the nation's disrepair Sidewalks full of apparitions Phantom figures, fading visions Death surrounds the neighborhood Somewhere in these empty streets Is desperate pain and no relief There is no trust, it's understood [Chorus] In uniforms blue, white, and red Dropping bombs and shooting lead You better free your mind instead Nightmares screaming of the dead Silent terror, restless bed You better free your mind instead Oh, you better free your mind instead Oh, you better free your mind instead [Bridge] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [Verse 2] Counter-culture from the bottom Starts with voices of the young (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Disregarded in their day (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Generation isolated Looking ever more frustrated (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Taking any kind of change (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) [Chorus] In uniforms blue white and red Dropping bombs and shooting lead (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) You better free your mind instead (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Nightmares screaming of the dead Silent terror, restless bed (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) You better free your mind instead (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Oh, you better free your mind instead (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) [Outro] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Oh, you better free your mind instead (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
