lyrics

Somewhere in America if they give you enough rope
Chain stores and chainsaws happy pills and soap
Come on, it’s out there if you want it

Dealing with a feeling a child goes unheard
Some will pledge allegiance while the other mouth the words
Come on it’s out there if you want it
Roll on you know I wanna be wanted
When it all goes down in this faithless town
You gotta burn the bridge
Hey kids, you gotta burn the bridge

Sometime after college and you don’t know what to do
Degrees of carnal knowledge, DOAs and IOUs
Come on, is that blood on the canvas?
Roll on when they don’t understand us
When it all goes down in this goddamn town
You gotta burn the bridge

Incarcerated broke and alone
I’ve been bought and I’ve been sold
So long

Hey kids you gotta burn

I love this entire album. Every track is a winner. The album is well mixed. It sounds great on my computer's stereo sound system. It is almost as good as the sound quality of my vinyl record sound system. And Jesse's voice has never sounded more powerful and confident. Definitely a Five-Star album. dansp
