Static Through the Heart

He was struck by static in the heart

Shot by an appendage from a television tube

And knowing what it meant to be showered with sound

He became a believer, he became a believer

And now he's slamming down chords

And leading a crowd ten-thousand strong

They're shouting in unison, shouting in unison

And they're burning their draft cards

And desecrating photographs

Burnt through the heart by

Static through the heart, static through the heart...

A man crouches on the street with static in his eyes

And takes it as a sign from the gods above

To shout from the rooftops and write letters to the government

He's writing revelations for the showdown

And now he's slamming down chords

And leading a crowd ten thousand strong

They're shouting in unison, shouting in unison

"Mom and dad, wake from your slumbers,

We're gonna burn this motherfucker down because

Sometimes we burn and steal and rape and kill and sacrifice

Just to remind ourselves that we're still alive"

This is not a test, this is the real thing.

"Mom and dad, wake from your slumbers,

We're gonna burn this motherfucker down because

Sometimes we burn and steal and rape and kill and sacrifice

Just to remind ourselves that we're still alive"
