Let's turn back time
so we can write our own history book
so we can tell Fitzgerald what he means to us
Let's turn back time
so we can convince him to stop drinking
so we can pass on what we know
Let's turn back time
so we can pray that they'll learn from our mistakes
that'll never happen
can't blame me for tryin'...
I'll break the walls around downtown and
I'll steal all the yellow neon signs and
I'll redecorate suburban houses and
I'll paint them up with hope
'cause if I won't give up
They can't stop us
so I won't give up
and no one'll stop us
We'll take all the gray from the world
Lifeless leeches: that's all we are anyways
we've no respect for time as it slays the king
as it burns Beirut to the ground.
While people lie on television screens,
we'll choke on their falsehoods
and die in our sleep
Go ahead!
make your seemingly amiable demands
Go ahead!
and we'll resolve this in your favor
I'll break the walls around downtown and
I'll steal all the yellow neon signs and
I'll redecorate suburban houses and
I'll paint them up with hope
'cause if I won't give up
They can't stop us
so I won't give up
and no one'll stop us
If we throw down our arms
It'll be death by firing squad
If we continue the fight
It'll be the gallows but
If we die right now
It'll be the best day of my life
And through all this...
I'll use my yellow neon signs
to find my way back home
We'll cast the search light into the night sky
We'll use it to bring home the stragglers
And we'll find our way to the right path
as its our only beacon of hope
Fin.
I'm madly in love with this.
