When I Give the Signal, Run!

Lyrics

This road bubbles in the heat Choppin' rocks, the only cracker that mine eyes can see These rails have pushed me out of town and pushed me down the line What once was "mine is yours" is now "what's yours is mine" And those eyes could stain glass with the glaze you try to pass The overalls are down but the sheep line up too fast Shots and bumps and drops and lines are old shifty friends of mine You can move your body to the beat of the pigs While they rip out your spine and shoot out your legs You live for the rhythm but you live on your knees If we're really this stupid then we'll never succeed This morning, in a drunken haze, I think I talked to you I think we went to breakfast and then walked down to the zoo I said some things that I don't mean but don't remember now It happens all the time these days The words just fall right out When this joke dies The party hats and streamers really start to fly You can move your body to the beat of the pigs While they rip out your spine and shoot out your legs You live for the rhythm but you live on your knees If we're really this stupid then we'll never succeed Looked up at the sky I watched the frogs rain down I watched the blood flood the riverbed And seeped into the ground I looked up at the sky Where the frogs rain down And where the blood floods the riverbed And seeps deep into the ground Goddamn! You can move your body to the beat of the pigs While they rip out your spine and shoot out your legs You live for the rhythm but you live on your knees If we're really this stupid then we'll never succeed (x2) Our time, our time, our time is now (x2)
