Jukebox The Ghost - Static lyrics

rate me

He was struck by static to the heart<br />

Shot by an appendage from a television tube<br />

And knowing what it meant to be showered with sound<br />

He became a believer, he became a believer<br />

And now he's slamming down chords<br />

And leading a crowd ten-thousand strong<br />

They're shouting in unison, shouting in unison<br />

And they're burning their draft cards<br />

And desecrating photographs<br />

Burnt through the heart by<br />

Static through the heart, static through the heart... <br />

<br />

A man crouches on the street with static in his eyes<br />

And takes it as a sign from the gods above<br />

To shout from the rooftops and write letters to the government<br />

He's writing revelations for the showdown<br />

And now he's slamming down chords<br />

And leading a crowd ten thousand strong<br />

They're shouting in unison, shouting in unison<br />

"Mom and dad, wake from your slumbers, <br />

We're gonna burn this motherfucker down because<br />

Sometimes we burn and steal and rape and kill and sacrifice<br />

Just to remind ourselves that we're still alive"</
