And the world was new
Black crows on a wet field bid it morning
And I lived in this world with you
And we moved through the days like haunted children do
The days of the lies would come
But for now we were safe in our silent kingdom
Merely wandering on and on
While the crows sang of evil and angles coming soon

Goddamn the lies
Goddamn the way things are
Goddamn the ones who said we owed it to them

We don't owe them nothing

Like a train on a trestle storms
Flat back on a broad street
Heading under
Flashed honor while duty cried
To think these were words that were worth defending

Goddamn the lies
Goddamn the way things are
Goddamn the ones who said we owed it to them

We don't owe them nothing
We don't owe them nothing
We don't owe them nothing
