Album Version (listen to a VBR mp3)

Bones are broken and the will is sunk How did everything get so fucked up? Do you want to change your mind? You can always change your mind You and I could quit this scene Build a town and then secede Like an Adam and an Eve 'Cause to the dreamers go the dreams But the leaders have the lead It's a frightening, frightening thing Born to the land of opportunity Of manifest destiny Do you want to change your mind? You can always change your mind You and I could quit this scene Build a town and then secede Like an Adam and an Eve To the dreamers go to the dreams But the leaders have the lead It's a frightening, frightening thing The Moon and stars are ganging up on the Sun Rebellion Everybody, the sky is falling down Friends and lovers, the world is coming down Down, down Down, down
