Name: Blood on the Streets
Duration: P00H03M32S
Description: "Definitely our biggest swinging for the fences. We played this very very aggressive live, and for not a very long period of time. It was sort of unnerving to yell for our fathers every night and mean it. So when we didn't mean it, we stopped. Very fortunate to have Jeaof Johnson have the right attitude to play drums on this track."

lyrics

There’s blood on the street
And in my hair
And on my hands and on my feet
Must I repeat the gravity
And there’s no point in coming clean
And shedding light
It benefits you to claim that you were right
I hope you know I’m taking notes

oOOOoooooooOooOOOOOoooo

There’s only death up ahead
It’s all I see
From the prayers made in my bed
Or am i asleep and is this a dream
And are these things not what they seem?
Could I be wrong
An honest man
Persecuted all along
But no. This is the truth? It’s breaking news
Our poor mother

oOOOoooooooOooOOOOOoooo

Lay me with my mother
So that she would know I loved her
We don’t have to blame each other
We are underground

Ghosts, white collared ghosts
With their white ties
And their white coats
Will lie right to our eyes
And say they tried
For our fathers
