Lyrics
This is an interpretation by fans and is what could be deciphered from the live recordings. A change in lyrics occurred in late 2009 as evidenced by a video recording of the song which surfaced on Facebook. The current changes are reflected here with the previously used words being left in fancy brackets. View video here.
Love of the sun
Came back again
To make it clear that
We never said it would meet demand
Shame on a martyr
Claiming friends from
either perspective at hand
Weak & strong &
Wet & dry &
Right & wrong &
Live & die &
Sane & gone &
Love & not &
All the “&”s that we forgot so
Sing while you hear it
Don’t deny it
We didn’t glance at the thought of it
Come back again
To make a stand with
Those who can stand with you too
High & low &
New & old &
Stop & go &
Hot & cold &
John & Yoko
Dark & light
It’s almost time to say goodnight to this
They took a lesson from their fathers {others},
Told them that they were the same command
Wait for the mind to make completed
lies that decide every move
Words & numbers
Sounds & silence
Stop the peace &
Keep the violence
No & yes &
We digress
With scenes of sad & happiness, oh god
Big bad Betty of the ‘pocalypse
She opens her lips and it goes like this
When the golden rule and the jungle meet {survival collide}
There’ll be nothing to love and there’ll be no one to beat {nowhere to hide}.
Oh the things we know, the things we don't,
Oh the things we think, and what we will and won’t,
A hope to tell you that nothing’s left
We’re all together and we’re all bereft
Capitalist, communist
Did the hokey pokey and it went like this
We hate {love} each other and we love {hate} yourself.
It might be heaven and it might be hell
Oh the things we do, the things we say
Oh the things we read, and just walked away.
