We don’t get tired, we get even

I swear I'll run away from every home I ever have
So I'll build a new house in every town I pass
Maybe then I won't always feel lost and trapped

When I was growing up, I was the smartest kid I knew
Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids
All I know is now I feel the opposite

And common decency may lead us through a prison cell
Basic goodness take us to hell
But since we'll all return to dirt
Let's bring some stories for the worms

Here's to the rubble, a brick through every window
A casket buried six feet deep for everybody's hero
Here's to our lives being meaningless
And how beautiful it is because freedom doesn't have a purpose

I know there's not enough windows on this planet to break us free
But maybe one will be just enough for some dignity
We don't know when but the days will come again when their courts can't hold us in
We'll stand our ground no matter how many police appear

We're building a new world, all of my friends and me
It's not an exact science yet, but we have the technology
Even the suburbs know power's getting too crooked
To stand on its own feet for much longer than it has

We might ride together until we reach freedom
We might ride till we reach justice
Then I'll get out alone
And walk till all the world is dust

I'd still be on the outside
Of the world we dream of building
But that could never change
Any society is prison to me

Any four walls are a prison to me
So I'm up all night scheming
I don't get tired, I get even
