lyrics

The shoulder of this interstate is the only road I know
A fist and a thumb out is the only signal shown
I've walked this road a thousand years, I'll walk a million more
I thought this was revolution, but I forgot what I'm fighting for
I'd tell you that I'm free, But I know I would be lying
If I said I knew what that really means
I know I'm heading east, And I think I might be dying
'Cause I'm bleeding where I x'd myself from society
The dirt behind these tracks is feeling close enough to home
Been waiting here so long, I don't care where they go
Now the train shows no signs of stopping far as I could tell
And if it de-rails I'll ride the 48 to hell
I'd tell you that I'm free, But I know I would be lying
If I said I knew what that really means
I know I'm heading east, And I think I might be dying
'Cause I'm bleeding where I x'd myself from society
While you're signing petitions for a legislation act
We're burning down the prisions and courthouses, yeah
While you're talking about what peacefully can be done
We're screaming "fuck the police" at the top of our lungs
'Cause spanging this corner, flying a cardboard sign
Is the same as you shouting in a picket line
And robbing a bank just to watch the money burn
Is a picture worth a thousand Emma Goldman Slurs
I'd tell you that I'm free, But I know I would be lying
If I said I knew what that really means
I know I'm heading east, And I think I might be dying
'Cause I'm bleeding where I x'd myself from society
