she was in the back yard
digging out a trench
praying for her fathers gun, again
all the holy weight they
layed across your back
one hundred years we wasted
staying there for life
AND YOU CAN'T SAY
THAT WE ARE WHAT YOU THOUGHT
OR WHAT YOU HAD HOPED WE'D BE
BUT WHAT WE ARE
OH, WE'RE NOT THE SAME, NO
AS WHAT YOU ARE
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY
TAKE THAT FROM US!!!!
here we built a new face
60 miles away
painted it the one shade you could never fake
mother kick your crutches, out from under me
I was still a sandstorm cutting at your feet
God was in my backyard tearing down my fence
calling out our fathers name again
we fixed him to the floor, covered up his ears
spending all our lifetime shaking off our fears
AND YOU CAN'T BLAME, NO YOU WON'T
NO YOU CAN'T BLAME
YOU CAN'T BLAME THAT ON US
WHAT YOU THOUGHT
NO YOU CAN'T
WHAT YOU ARE
YOU CAN'T BLAME THAT ON US!!
ohhhh, but I could be, something else, entirely
and spill, out of my burning head
and underneath your door
and no, I do not see what you see in your old eyes
but I, will be cutting up your fears for eternity
AND YOU CAN'T BLAME WHAT YOU ARE
WHAT YOU SAY
YOU CAN'T BLAME THAT ON US
WHAT YOU ARE
OH MY GOD, YOU SAY
THAT YOU ARE
WHAT YOU ARE
WE ARE NOT THE SAME
NO WE'RE NOT
