Don’t Push Us When We’re Hot

Your little pink houses are packed too tight Built in rows to trap you in Living made for dying, for giving in In this town, authority always wins Like 97 crosses on the courthouse yard Where you're taught to fear Jesus and the wrath of God Yeah, there's nowhere else, you're not missing a thing Houses built like coffins to bury us in To live and die in this small town I smell main street burning down To live and die in this small town I smell main street burning down Let me know when you've had enough Tell me when the thrill of living is gone Let me know when you've had enough Tell me when the thrill of living is gone Grass is always greener on the right hand side The place they plow us in when we've all died Grass is always greener on the right hand side The place they plow us in when we've all died All those crazy dreams, they came and went Hope, happiness, dignity, respect All those crazy dreams, they came and went Hope, happiness, dignity, respect This is not a pretty thing, no grace in giving in No sweetness in surrender, no romance in dying slow Count the winner and the losers like they're people you know Empty eyes and sentiment, yeah, it ain't no big deal They pump your gas and catch your bullets, they're almost seeming real The bible belt won't save your soul and life does not go on 400 acres couldn't bury them, like 97 crosses on the courthouse lawn No more James Dean, no more life goes on Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow, blood on the plow Nobody wants a pink house from

God helps those who fuck their friends There's a VIP in hell built there just for them God helps those who fuck their friends There's a VIP in hell built there just for them How long has it been? So good to have you back And I'd slip this knife right in if there was room left in your back Remember at that place? That time you did that thing? You said those funny words and everybody laughed Now look me in the eye 'cause I'm seeing no one home Look at me up close Look me in the eye 'cause I'm seeing no one home Brother, what a shame, what a monument to memory Everything to stone Fake smiles meant well Fake smiles Heart isn't something you earn It's something you lose, you lose You lose, you lost

Like a pin through the skin Like a stake through the heart Can't feel it fast enough Wait for the hurting to start Never had enough for an answer and I never wish I did Knew better we'd leave it alone But none of us is quite that smart All these hearts in the way Falling faster every day And I might break and just for you What you ask for is what we always do All these hearts in the way Fingers paint the light of day This is my confession, this is my come undone All transgressions counted out, every single one by one Tell me what you want What it is you need to hear Lean a little closer Whispered softly in your ear A drop of blood and the lights sing on Another teardrop wasted And I'm sure it'll get you far When you tell it, it sounds so real Another teardrop wasted Another drop and the lights scream on This is my heart breaking Tell me how you fake it Tell me how it even matters Tell me now exactly how you feel Tell me how you make it look so good Uh, Mr. Simon, um, why-why-why all white people got to be so loud? Why are y'all so angry?

Been on this line for five hours now Still not moving, frozen dinner mission aborted for the door I've almost had it, stop these voices swearing in my head Because I can't think straight, no more music Candy air vents, stock room stampede Let me out, I don't belong here This guy right next to me makes Brian look like cool Moe Dee Land of the white man, is white bread worth it, being half a person? All we are, nothing more, all we are, just the same Disposable, hung to dry, disposable Marked down, human life, degradable Disposable, hung to dry, disposable Marked down, human life, degradable You've got your number, you wear it so well Don't even know what it is you're doing here If life is just a game then it's moving on too fast They gave you a number and you wear it, oh, so well Best avoid confusion, please don't make a scene Don't ask any questions 'cause you won't know what do they mean Do it all like everyone else does Do it all like everyone else does Otherwise you're in the way Keep your pretty mouth shut, eyes pointed at the ground Keep your pretty mouth shut, eyes pointed at the ground If you know what's good for you, If you know what's good for you You'll shut your fucking mouth If you know what's good for you you'll shut the fuck up

This is not a signal This is not a test The sound of breaking hearts echoes all around Exploding in my chest If security is what you want Here it won't exist Put aside the broken fences Try not to resist This is not the end but it might be close to it Decision, not necessity Not folding like the rest With fingernails and sharpened teeth This is what we do best We might spring a leak But this blood will never run We might spring a leak But this blood will never run Aim through fading eye Hold your guns up high Aim through fading eye Hold your guns up high Watched you try your worst You couldn't knock us down Watched you try your worst You couldn't knock us down This is my blood (down again) This is my own (down again) Things are breaking down again These are my own (down again) This is my blood (down again) This is my own (down again) This is mine

This is where, this is where it all goes down Catch, caught in your hand just to prove it won't go out Eyes were on the moving parts like you'd never know it did Lay your money down and bet it on the kid All you can do is keep your head down Think loud thoughts you'd never say out loud One false move is all it takes Winners never lose, no better than coming close Eyes are always open, we see where the money goes Winners never lose, no better than coming close Words we could say would stick to the skin Could still keep the good air from ever getting in Words we could say would stick to the skin Could still keep the good air from ever getting in How many times did we wish it was to say the words just because? How many times did we wish it was to say the words just because? How many times did we wish it was to say the words just because? How many times did we wish it was to say the words just because? How many times did we wish it was to say the words just because? How many times did we wish it was to say the words just because? The closer you get the more it hurts The longer you stay, the tighter it turns The more that you ask for, the more that you get The more that you say it, it sounds like regret It sounds like regret, it sounds like regret It sounds like regret, it sounds like regret I believe children is the future, treat them well and let them eat them

Light the fuse and pray Count your fingers as the blessings that they are 'Cause someone's burning down tonight and it's not me So close to the edge, so close to the edge So close to the edge, so close to the edge Here's to second chances that no one ever asked for Here's to second chances no one ever wanted Here's to the marks, the hiding of scars The maps that remind us to take it too far The apologies spoken through spit and the blood The cracking of teeth, the ugliest truth just beneath the skin Try to save your breath, air or error Holding on too tight Try to save your breath, air or error Holding on too tight Try to save your breath, air or error Holding on too tight Sorry you had to see this, the way my hands would shake Thought I was the stronger one, we all make our mistakes There's one thing I can't stand, it's written all over your face Could have been most anything, but honest wasn't one You can't stand the sound of your own voice and I don't blame you All these thoughts inside your head and none of them can save you You can't stand the sound of your own voice and I don't blame you All these thoughts inside your head and none of them can save you On and on and on again On and on and on again On and on and on again On and on and on again On and on and on again (Hope we get this right) On and on and on again (Right we'll make this time) Such a pretty wish, such a sweet mistake Hold your hands into the fire, we'll hope that it won't light

You built this across my back Forgive me for giving in You built this across my back Forgive me for giving in How far is too far, how long is too long? How much is too much? The bend before the break How long have you been away? How long have you been away from me now? You built this across my back Forgive me for giving in You built this across my back Forgive me for giving in How far is too far, how long is too long? How much is too much? The bend before the break How long have you been away? How long have you been away from me now? I hate myself for what I've done I hate myself for what I've done I hate these words, they just won't come out right at all They turn on me every time I call I hate these words because they're never quite enough I painted them over, I could never make it up What this is is not enough for you What this is means everything to me What this is, is blood through stitches and the seams What this is is harder than it seems I hate these words, they just won't come out right They turn on me every time I call I hate these words because they're never quite enough I painted them over, I could never make it up What this is is not enough for you What this is means everything to me What this is is harder than it seems What this is is blood through stitches and the seams Let me hear you say it "Everything is gonna be alright" Let me hear you say it "Everything is gonna be alright" You lie when your lips move, just like the rest of us You lie when your lips move, just like the rest of us You lie when your lips move, just like the rest of us You lie when your lips move, just like the rest of us Let me hear you say it "Everything is gonna be alright" Let me hear you say it "Everything is gonna be alright" Let me hear you say it "Everything is gonna be alright" Let me hear you say it "Everything is gonna be alright" Let me hear you say it "Everything is gonna be alright" Then you will surely see why
