Will god help us when America burns

we're vicious creatures and we're all taking turns

will god help us when the insurrection rages

we've got a drug

we're burning pages of love

(the dead desire fertility

stolen from a distant scene

and all your drugs and your machines

can't save you now

we will invoke forgotten names

smash the sets of our hurricanes

and when we reach the living end

we will begin again)



will god help us when America burns

we're vicious creatures and we're all taking turns

will god help us when the insurrection rages

we've got a drug

we're burning pages of love
