I was the one in the neon spot,
Forgot my name, and where I came from,
And all of the things I've done.
Bring in the people who came to see,
They think they know where I came from,
And all of the things I've done.
Just 'cause you burned down a church in spite of me,
It doesn't mean that they will not believe I know,
All the trees and bones that you own.
Hey don't go 'cause when the fight is done,
We won't be be strung-out over what we've wanted,
And all of the things we will have won.
So bring all the people who came to see,
We'll break these chains for the kindest creatures of all,
Then we'll break all of your sticks and willing gods!
Just 'cause you burned down a church in spite of me,
It doesn't mean that they will not believe.
Just 'cause you burned down the streets in spite of me,
It doesn't mean that they will not believe.
Pretty people,
Do make yourself the martyr for a false parade (martyr for a false parade),
oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh.
Honed your fire down,
Propaganda you're a martyr for the red parade,
And an ambassador of kings and queens for a kinder kind of story and all.
Two to aid,
light of day, oh,
Kings and queens for a kinder kind of story and all.
Oh, oh, oh.
Just 'cause you burned down a church in spite of me,
It doesn't mean that they will not believe.
