Walk On The Flood

They kill it in the comedy clubs, killing in the schools
 Make a killin' on Wall Street, it? s just the golden rule
 Do unto others is surely what they do
 Remember the memories, we were all once children too
 Ashes, ashes, all in the name of who?
 We say howdy neighbor? I love you, mom and dad
 But if you're a stranger you must want something we have
 I know you don't like me, am I really that bad?
 Remember the schoolyard, there were no strangers, oh, in that sand
 Fascist, fascist, ooh, let's see a show of hands
 All gonna fly, we're gonna need a safe place tonight
 This is the picture I painted this morning
 These are the colors, memories forming
 These are the pictures that we painted together
 We elected our leaders, so we've been told
 Got no right to complain, oh, we? ve bought what they sold
 Slogan of the day is put peace on hold
 Lennon would have us laughing, oh, if we'd just let him grow
 Pacifist, pacifist, oh, ain? t we a sight to behold
 Some people feel so much, we? re making new drugs
 Mister Rogers and Oprah, other channels have blood
 Tryin', dyin', water and mud
 Forgive for the love, take a walk on the flood
 Forgiving for the love, walk on the flood
 Ashes, ashes, and blood on the flood
 This is the picture I painted this morning
 These are the colors, oh, this was my warning
 These are the pictures
 These are the pictures I painted this morning
 These are the colors, memories forming
 These are the pictures, oh, we painted together
