Alba s touto skladbou:
All At Once,
All these inanimate places
Feel like they're changing
The kids all lined up on the wall
Like they're ready to die
These forms they're sending
It's like they'll just rearrange them
We were caged up like animals
Questioned and ready to cry
'Cause I was just thirteen
When I got my first taste of danger
Standing by the church
I had a bottle and a pen in my hand
Oh, I said "Father, I'm sorry
I just don't know what to do with this anger
This behavior is correctable
I know this wasn't part of your plan..."
But little funks like us
We were always receiving instruction
You could burn our clothes
You could wash out the ink and the dye
But you can't look me in the eye
And say you don't feel like a little destruction
And the kids are lined up on the wall
And they're ready to die
And the kids are lined up on the wall
And they're ready to die..
All these days just seem
Like they're getting longer
The view from our room
Is a gloomy and overcast grey
The weakness we left behind
Seems to be getting stronger
I swear there's something in the air
And I don't know what anyone could say
'Cause I saw the news
This morning, there was another
Boy by the side of the road
He had a gun in his hand
I thought "Well, what could you say
To make it ever make sense to his mother?
'Oh ma'am, he was excitable
We were just trying to make him a man...'"
But the day will come
When it falls like a cheap house of plastic
And the cards that were dealt
Will be tossed like a storm in the sky
'Cause you can only lie
For so long before you get something drastic
And the kids are lined up on the wall
And they're ready to die
And the kids are lined up on the wall
And they're ready to die...
