Lyrics

[Verse 1] Time is short, the road is long I'm not sure who you're waiting on Your native son? He went that way Violent time' a way to live A gift that only you can give It has to be facing forward [Verse 2] The iron heel' the velvet glove The firestorm from above You've had enough' for a lifetime Satellite, sent out of spite An out of sight plebiscite Falling right in the middle [Chorus] How did it feel to be born after the gold rush? The river ran dry, after the gold rush The iron heel' the velvet glove The firestorm from above The river ran dry After the gold rush [Bridge] They​ ​made a mistake when they cleared the killing fields Do you regret when you asked for a blank slate [Verse 1] Time is short, the road is long I'm not sure who you're waiting on Your native son? He went that way Violent time, a way to live A gift that only you can give It has to be facing forward [Chorus] How did it feel to be born after the gold rush? The river ran dry' after the gold rush The iron heel, the velvet glove The firestorm from above The river ran dry After the gold rush [Chorus] How did it feel to be born after the gold rush? The river ran dry, after the gold rush The iron heel, the velvet glove The firestorm from above The river ran dry After the gold rush
