"Walking Is Still Honest" lyrics
"Walking Is Still Honest"
Dear mother,
This is just survival.
Cannot promise your children everything,
But you would lie so they can sleep tonight.
Defeat tasted nothing like you said.
Still 22 days left till the end of the world.
My legacy was making you a man
For a justice I could not change.
This is one voice not to forget;
"Fight every fight like you can win;
An iron fisted champion,
An iron willed fuck up."
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees.
Not today,
Not my son,
Not my family,
Not while walking is still honest,
And you haven't given up on me.
Dear shithead,
This isn't happening;
The sky is really falling,
The paint's all made of lead,
There's asbestos in the walls,
Hell's coming to rip off the doors
To your priveleged heaven.
Do you want to love and feel it?
You can look but you can't taste it.
You can reach but you'll never have it.
We are untouchable;
Untouchable is something to be.
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees.
Not today,
Not my son,
Not my family,
Not while walking is still honest,
And you haven't given up on me,
And you haven't given up on me,
And you haven't forgotten me...

The Bouncing Souls - "Gone" It was a cloudy night,
or so it looked to me,
I felt so lost,
I couldn't say why.

believing I was...
The Hold Steady - "Constructive Summer" Me and my friends are like
The drums on "Lust for Life"
We pound it out on floor toms
Our psalms are sing-along songs

Descendents - "'Merican" We flipped our finger to the king of England
Stole our country from the indians
With god on our side and guns in our hands
We took it for our own

Justice and equality...
Hot Water Music - "Bleeder" You came to me like a dream.
The kind that always leaves
Just when the best part starts.
It ends so abruptly
To leave you stunned and naked
In your bedroom all alone.
It's kinda funny how something...
The Dead Milkmen - "Bitchin' Camaro" Hey Jack, what's happening?
I don't know
Well, uh, rumor around town
Says you might be thinkin' 'bout goin' down to the shore
Uh, yeah, I think I'm gonna go down to the shore
What you gonna do down...
