Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin brokin’ down.
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
Your children are so hungry
That they don’t know how to smile.
Your baby’s eyes look crazy
They’re a-tuggin’ at your sleeve
Your baby’s eyes look crazy
They’re a-tuggin’ at your sleeve
You walk the floor and wonder why
With every breath you breathe.
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
If there’s anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares?
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
Your empty pocket tell you
That you ain’t a-got no friend.
Your babies are crying louder now
It’s pounding on your brain
Your babies are crying louder now
It’s pounding on your brain
Your wife’s screams are stabbin’ you
Like the dirty drivin’ rain.
Your grass is turning black
There’s no water in your well
Your grass is turning black
There’s no water in your well
Your spent your last lone dollar
On seven shotgun shells.
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shortgun
That’s hangin’ on the wall.
Your brain is a-bleedin’
And your legs can’t seem to stand
Your brain is a-bleedin’
And your legs can’t seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shortgun
That you’re holdin’ in your hand.
There’s seven breezes a-blowin’
All around the cabin door
There’s seven breezes a-blowin’
All around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean’s pounding roar.
There’s seven people dead
On a south Dakota farm
There’s seven people dead
On a south Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There’s seven new people born

lyrics-video-music.blogspot.com
all the way at the bottom
of these barrels we cried out
so ashamed of our tears that
we blame only ourselves
and that's when they win
they keep us convinced
to lift up our chins
these playing fields are level
we all have a chance
with that they dismiss
the fast lanes they rode
in which access depends
on who you know
or where you came from
whose daughter are you?
whose fortunate son?
we're told to stick out our thumbs
they feast from the linens
while we settle for crumbs
is this an over-reaching arm?
or is this compassion?
is this a handout undeserved?
or a just reparation?
all the way from the towers
high above glass ceilinged tombs
tell themselves that they've earned this
by working hard and playing by the rules
but this is only part true
a dangerous trick played on me and you
and so, like a practical joke
we pulled on these bootstraps
so hard that they broke
is this an over-reaching arm?
or is this compassion?
is this a handout undeserved?
or a just reparation?
like a single domino
that falls while the rest stay vertical
we’re fed these empty fairy tales
will you believe them?
if there's a god, you better pray
that this sleeping giant never wakes
if we just took a step back
a bigger picture we might view
perhaps the man in the gutter
is not so different from you
come in out of the cold
forget all that you know
because there's always been room
by the fire for you
come in out of the cold
will you believe them?
is this an over-reaching arm?
or is this compassion?
is this a handout undeserved?
or a just reparation?
like a single domino
that falls while the rest stay vertical
we're fed these empty fairy tales
and i’m through believing

lyrics-video-music.blogspot.com
woah, woah.
bang bang go the coffin nails, like a breath exhaled,
been gone forever.
it seems just like yesterday, how did i miss the red flames?
raise these back, the days we left.
we braved these bitter storms together.
brought to his knees he cried,
but on his feet he died.
what god would damn a heart?
and what god drove us apart?
what god could make it stop?
let this end.
eighteen years pushed to the ledge.
it's come to this,
a weightless step.
on the way down singing,
woah, woah.
bang bang from the closet walls,
the schoolhouse halls,
the shotgun's loaded.
push me and i'll push back.
i'm done asking, i demand.
from a nation under god,
i feel it's love like a cattle prod.
born free, but still they hate.
bore me, i can't change.
it's always darkest just before the dawn.
so stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong.
make it stop.
let this end,
eighteen years pushed to the ledge.
it's come to this,
a weightless step.
on the way down singing,
woah, woah.
the cold river washed him away,
but how could we forget.
gathering candles, but not their tongues.
and too much blood has flown from the wrist,
of children shamed for those they chose to kiss.
who will rise to stop the blood.
we're coming for,
insisting on, a different beat, yeah.
a brand new song.
woah, woah.
woah, woah.
woah, woah.

Here is Midnight Hands Lyrics by Rise Against @
lyrics-video-music.blogspot.com
like a new day rising
like a calm before the storm
like fog lifting from valleys
on the sleeping forest floor
eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off
to gaze upon the wreckage
that the midnight hands have wrought
and now i feel my temperature rising
my body explodes
i feel like somebody's watching
like i'm not alone
whatever path you take
and wherever you might go
whenever you decide you to leave
i will follow, i will follow
we face the crossroads never knowing what's in store
there's an angel on my shoulder
there's a devil in my door
she proclaimed tonight will be the greatest of our lives
i said 'don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning'
there in the clearing we gather close
under the moon's pale light we lay out the tools
and you don't have to do this, and i forgive you if you don't
she just looked away and said 'i know'
gripping the midnight hands
we dream of futures they would prevent
gripping their midnight hands
the line's crosses over, the dawn grows closer
let's bit off too much, let's?
and now i feel my temperature rising
my body explodes
i feel like somebody's watching
like i'm not alone
whatever path you take
and wherever you might go
whenever you decide to leave
i will follow, i will follow
i will bare the falls you take
i will let go if you?
i'll be there until you go away?
i will follow x7

Rise Against - Satellite Lyrics and Video
you can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame
you have to cross the line just to remember where it lays
you won't know your worth now, son, until you take a hit
and you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it
that's why we won't back down
we won't run and hide
cuz these are the things we can't deny
i'm passing over you like a satellite
so catch me if i fall
that's why you stick to your game plans and party lives
but at night we're perspiring by candlelight
we are the orphans of the american dreams
oh shine your light on me
you can't fill your cup until you empty your lit house
you can't understand what lays ahead
if you don't understand the past
you'll never learn the fun now
til you're standing at the gate
and you can't truly love until youve given up on it
she told me that she never would face the world again
so i offer up my hand
we'll sneak out when they sleep
and sail off in the night.
we'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives.
when we're gone we'll stay gone.
out of sight, out of mind.
it's not too late,
we have the rest of our lives.
we'll sneak out while they sleep
and sail off into the night
we'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives
out of sight, out of mind.
it's not too late,
we have the rest of our lives.
the rest of our lives
the rest of our lives
because we won't back down
we won't run and hide
yeah cuz these are the things we can't deny
i'm passing over you like a satellite
so catch me if i fall
that's why you stick to your game plans and party lives
but at night we're perspiring by candlelight
we are the orphans of the american dreams
oh shine your light on me
because we won't back down
we won't run and hide
yeah cuz these are the things we can't deny
i'm passing over you like a satellite
cuz these are the things that we can't deny now
this is a life that you can't deny us now

Rise Against - Help Is On The Way Lyrics and Video
I have my mother's dreams,
I have my father's eyes,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
The cursed city sleeps,
Watch ions in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a mighty cry.
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The pyre is burning,
The severance is dying.
And all along they say it.
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
Five thousand feet below,
As black smoke engulfs the sky,
The ocean floor explodes,
Eleven mothers cry.
My bones all resonate,
A burning lullaby,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
She says that's the shoreline,
With hands in the air,
Her words miss the dark light,
Does anyone care?
And all along they say it.
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
Right here! Right here! [x3]
Choking on the black gold,
Upon which we rely,
We keep actions in the attics,
To see cameras in the sky.
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
We were told just to sit tight,
Cause somebody will soon arrive.
Help is on the way.
But it never came!
It never came!
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to help see.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
On the way.
