Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Beauty in garbage
Beauty in garbage
Take what it gives you this time
Every collision
Civilization collapses
And what do you find?
[Verse 2]
Wake up the neighbors and stop the policeman
From committing murderous crimes
The grass combusted, the water is fishless
The earthquakes are hour-long strikes
[Verse 3]
Violence ablazing
Gunshots replacing
The sound of the church bells and hymns
White Jesus, save me
You'll scream like a baby
Your water is cheap bottled wine
[Verse 4]
Wake up the children, devices are filled with
The blood of their addicted hands
No service is left but the service you give
To your fellow American man
[Bridge]
Militant freaks hovering over the sky
So you better run for the forest
And we're all under their cold watchful eye
So you better hide what you're growin'
Lookin' out for yourself won't get you far
Better make peace with your people
There can be beauty among trying times
We can push through all the evil
[Outro]
Beauty in garbage
Beauty in garbage
Without it, we wouldn't hold hands
Take what it gives you, look from a new view
And build something better this time
