Alkaline

from Handcuff County by Ryan M. Brewer

lyrics

Burn a cross in the church yard. Pull the bells from the tower. Drain the gas from the old cars. Rob the clock of his hours.
Steal the voice from the singer. Blow the cover of the ringer. Take the sting out of the winter. Snatch the soul from the sinner And wash it in the rain, the acid rain. The acid rain.
Burn a teacher in the schoolyard. Pull the pages from the books.
Dump the coal from the train car. Rob the model of his sweet, sweet looks.
Steal the sugar from the baker. Blow the cover of the faker. Take the sting out of the hater. Snatch the script from the seder. Sing it in the rain, the acid rain. The acid rain.
For all of our trying... for all of our hopes... for all of our fears... The Gods are all crying on the seeds we sow with alkaline tears...
