lyrics

i combed a beach for an intervening time
and no one intervened see i was doing just fine
searching for a pearl in a lost generation just killing time

we were huddled by the empire and you'd finally stopped crying
you'd finally quit thinking that these feelings were you dying
you pointed at the palmtrees
i tried to hold your hand
saying we got biopolitical leaves and biopolitical sand
you know i don't believe in evil and i sure ain't any saint
you've been enamoured with a power that needs one more lick of paint
i've seen your radical safe spaces handkerchief around your face
but you won't be held accountable in any time or place

now we
we built the barricades burnt them
barricades up just to burn them
crack another place on the east side of town
a new crew maybe or one more down

i combed a street for the 2 for fiver wine
past the candle factory and the dreams that i designed
they boarded up your house
they wonder why y'all trash it
they keep kicking you outside
and i see such struggle every corner of this borough
of this place i see the struggle
etched in weariness on every passing face
they took away the town
just a stone's throw from the birds' nest
more penny for their pound

now we
we built the barricades and burnt them down
barricades up just to burn them
no wandering wistful on your holy ground
no wandering wistful holy ground
just another lover gone and one more down

did you want to be my chieftain
did you want to be my guide
did you want to join the army of the clueless and contrived.
can you see the empty buildings
all the modest hopes that died
i'd give a lot to see you angry
god knows it would be justified but
i know where the fire burns and babe it ain't inside

so i built a barricade and burnt it down
barricades up just to burn them
i hope you get your papers and stay in town
that would be another fight won and one more down
