Lyrics:
Hold it, stop it, the joy ride grinds to a halt
There's a bogus load, the old train goes round
The curve and purges
The hobos who stow away
The rail ties are cold
There's nowhere to go
Focus on smoke: rooftops, chimney, snow
The coldest know this: there's no room at home
To care for strangers
The cold wind blows out
To prepare for danger
The doors must stay closed
CHORUS:
There's a lesson to learn
You lose if you choose to care
Let the flag fly high
We've guns to spare
Freedom to burn
Time to kill
The joke's on you, the cold war's still warm
No hope for heat, the hawks never bought that social justice hocus pocus
It's worth it to hurt you, numbers don't lie
It's worth it to purge you to stock pile high
