Roll on
Rolling like the thunder
Carry me from underneath a blue sky
Drive on
Drivin’ forty horses
Ride the mystic forces to a new high
Shine on
On the silver city
Hangin’ on our pity like a halo
Play on
Play it loud and faster
Ivory stratoscaster hangin’ way low
A summer getaway to Vegas & Gomorrah
Oh what could ever go awry
Do not awake the desert lady they adore- ah
Her face alight with a neon aura
Tonight we’re gonna ride
Tonight we’re gonna go the distance
Are you with me
Tonight we’re gonna ponder rock guitar and the mystery of existence
Tonight we’re gonna ride out there beyond the known
They’ll find our bodies in the mornin’ light
And think our minds are blown
You say the young are some pathetic herd of pop culture cattle
And conscience is the theatre of battle for a country
And a soul
And freedom
Your charms were never lost on me
Remember how she cried from the towers of the city
And clinging to her robe we would travel
Through the ages in the pages of the sages
The Book of Romans
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Constitution
So raining from above, even now, we can still hear the soft command
Children
Now let’s begin
Tear the skin
Tear the skin
Tear holes in the skin
Let the light of reason in
Tear open your new eyes and see the world
This shadow world of matter
And know you’re so unwise
Beware the endless night of day time television
The disembodied voice
A midnight apparition calling sweetly
Calling slow
And the image spoke as someone having authority saying
Vote for me and I swear I’ll set you free
From the pursuit of happiness and responsibility
You know you love me
Do what you’re told and I’ll get you all enrolled in a program that is paid for with someone else’s gold
It is not stealing
It is not stealing
And Visa it’s everywhere you want to be
So when you pray
Pray like this
Our culture
The art we are given
Hollywood be thy name
And for your sins I offer you Darwinian forgiveness
For you see
You’re not responsible
You’re just an animal
You’re not responsible
You’re just an animal
You’re not responsible
You’re just an animal
You’re not responsible
You’re just an animal
I’ll give you possessions
You give me control
I’ll give you the world
If you just give me your soul
Here at the end of the highway
In the blue horizon
A desert plain
Beyond the rain
And we have come too far
You turn to me in the darkness
In the blue horizon
Between the night
And morning light
And we have lost our way
May we know
May we know
May we know we’ve come out here to find our God
The night arrives, God save our soul America
I have called you out here among the hills and stars
To wake you
