Trying to make us all afraid all the time
Trying to make us all stay inside and
lock our doors and windows
See the man's got too much to count
Try to recollect the sermon
Blessed are the poor when they're
all swinging from the gallows
the dawn will break again
We'll be around when you have
There's nothing you can say or do to
us to drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night,
the dawn will break again
See the poet with nothing left to say
Staring down at blank pages all day
Let the alcohol take you away and sleep
See the beast with the gasoline hand
Breathing fire, drawing lines in the sand
Pray we find ourselves a better plan
or die the way we used to
the dawn will break again
We'll be around when they have
There's nothing you can do or say to
us to drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night,
the dawn will break again
the dawn will break again
We'll be around when they have
There's nothing you can do or say to
us to drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night,
the dawn will break again
