lyrics

Standing on the beach
Waiting for the black rain to come down
Lost your badge and your gun
Helpless as they run you to ground
Now you got your hand in your pocket
Watching the rocket's
Red glare
Ain't got a clue what it's about
But you don't think you
Really care

Chorus
You ain't guessing you know
Who's behind it or what it's all worth
You're just busy right now
Getting ready for
Walkin' off the earth

You followed the footprints of
Noah's Raven
Scribbled in the sand
Caught the whiff of hypocrisy
In the theocracy slathered on the land
You ain't goin' nowhere
Got nothing you care about
At all
You're just watchin' vapor trails
And waitin' for the hammer
To fall

Chorus

Now it's the end of the movie
And you ain't the hero, that's for sure
So you're here with all the other losers
On the cutting room floor
You ain't got nothing that you're owed
You been livin' on the road
Of dead dreams
And you long ago gave up
That childish hope of a
Post-credit scene

Chorus
