lifeblood: songs: lyrics: rock and roll heaven's gate


it didn't happen for you
no one wants to hear the truth
coming from three political queers
plucking the punk rock bloom
so you break up the band
and leave us all in tow
yeah now we gotta figure out
where to go

i caught it at a rave
(did it give you vaccination)
i saw it on my tv
(did it lighten up your load)
and every fuckin dj
(did you feel affilliated)
is telling me i'm free
(like you really had a home)
i'm free to be a loser
(were the ticket prices too high)
i'm free to be a trend
(were the lights too bright)
i'm free to be a backlash over and over and over again
(was it all a bunch of hype)

you say i'm losing inspiration
one band at a time
because i gotta know there's someone, somewhere, out there
singing for our side

where i come up
we share the mortar and the glue
and what we build together
we share that too
and the wind may come
and the rain may fall
but we stand together
or we don't stand at all
and i said
where are you going to now
now that the goings gone
(where are you going to now)
yeah so here's to your survival
and swimming up the stream
crossing over one dam after another
until we get to rock and roll heaven's gate
(yeah)

i caught it at a rave
(did it give you vaccination)
i saw it on the tv
(did it lighten up your load)
and every fuckin dj
(did you feel affilliated)
is telling me i'm free
(like you really had a home)
yeah i'm free to be a loser
(were the ticket prices too high)
i'm free to be a trend
(were the lights too bright)
i'm free to be a backlash over and over
until i get to rock and roll heaven's gate
