"The Face" lyrics

They arrive on a sunny day
Offering the residents a better way
Before you know it you're in line and chanting refrain
They reel you in and then they turn you out

First they tell ya you're gonna lose your soul
And then they tell ya find another home
And then ya take a good look around
And they stole your rock and roll
And once it's gone you'll never get it back

1000 Les Pauls burning in a field
What rabid religion poisons their minds?
1000 jazz masters thrown into the sea
What measure of madness governs their time?

In the beginning
There was void
The hand moved over
Then there was noise
Fire and water
Heaven and stone
Radio kings
Hammer and throne

1000 Les Pauls smoulder in a field
What measure of madness fastens their hearts?
1000 jazz masters sunk down to the bottom of the sea
What rabid religion drives them apart?

In the beginning
There was void
The face moved over
Then there was noise
Fire and water
Heaven and stone
Radio kings
Hammer and throne

Uncounted Les Pauls ascend to the sky
Where there was darkness now only light
Uncounted jazz masters rising up from the bottom of the sea
The wicked are levelled the righteous are free
Uncounted Les Pauls explode and take flight
Where there was darkness now only light
Uncounted jazz masters erupting from the bottom of the sea
The wicked are leveled the righteous are free
