Your class your caste your country sect your name or your tribe[00:00:59]
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive[00:01:03]
His body's decomposing in containers tonight[00:01:06]
In an abandoned building where[00:01:09]
A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl[00:01:14]
With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl[00:01:17]
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world[00:01:21]
Four winds blowing through her hair[00:01:24]
But when great Satan's gone the whore of Babylon[00:01:27]
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed[00:01:35]
She caves[00:01:41]
The Bible's blind the Torah's deaf the Qu'ran's mute[00:02:01]
If you burn them all together you get close to the truth still[00:02:06]
They are pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons[00:02:09]
While shadows lengthen the sun[00:02:12]
Cast off the schools of meditation built to soften the times[00:02:15]
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds[00:02:19]
It's knocking over fences crossing property lines[00:02:23]
Four winds cry until it comes[00:02:26]
And it's the son of man[00:02:29]
Slouching towards Bethlehem[00:02:33]
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space[00:02:37]
It breaks it breaks it breaks[00:02:45]
Well I went back to my rented Cadillac and company jet[00:03:06]
Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps[00:03:10]
All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead[00:03:14]
They said "You'd better look alive"[00:03:17]
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps[00:03:21]
In the black hills the bad lands the calloused east[00:03:25]
I buried my ballast I made my peace[00:03:28]
With four winds levelling the pines[00:03:31]
But when great Satan's gone the whore of Babylon[00:03:34]
She just can't compete with all that outer space[00:03:42]
She breaks she breaks she caves she caves[00:03:54]
