lyrics

There was a message written on the wall
after a lecture given down the hall.
It's said "Either you're with us or you're nothing at all.
You better rise up or you're bound to fall."

But then the sun will still rise as it does every time
that you're standing outside of that firing line.

Was there a side that you thought you were on?
Did you ever wonder whether or not you were wrong?
Community gardens growing nothing but shame.
I'm just looking for a little shelter from the faceless rain.
Yeah, I'm just looking for a little shelter from the nameless rain.

But what we think we know will have changed in time
so I'm standing outside of that firing line.
Yeah, we know truth and love are both hills to climb
when you're standing outside of that firing line.

Has information in the digital age
caused you start thinking or just refreshing a page?
Is life in the blue light just life in a cage?
It's just seconds to minutes, minutes to hours and hours to days.

Were you a victim or were you to blame?
And are we so different that nothing's the same?
Is it a trial or is it a game?
Tense ruminations alone in your brain.

But this TV show isn't in black and white
so I'm standing outside of that firing line.
It seems the scopes of our guns have all lost their sights
so we're standing outside of that firing line.
