Ain't No Looking Back

All of your ghosts,
Litter the horizon.
Glittering carcasses,
I guess that makes twice then.
Just like your daisies
and all of your buffallo,
You dont worry,
the children will mend what you tore.
You dress yourself in sharkbites,
You kill yourself in spoonfuls,
You damn all the beehives,
You make love to potholes.
Your attention is a junkie,
it has a wandering vien.
And all of your thoughtlessness
is dried up rain.

Aint no lookin back, now,
Is there kid?
You always look to the west,
You throw caution to the wind,
You're on a one way track,
But you can't buy caution back
Can you kid?

You killed a man
Because you made him borrow.
One suicide is made up
of ten thousand tiny sorrows.
America's great,
its the land of the free.
We're so independant
we forgot how to breathe.

Aint no lookin back, now,
Is there kid?
You always look to the west,
You throw caution to the wind,
You're on a one way track,
But you cant buy caution back
Can you kid?

Show me one hero
Who ain't afraid of fear,
Show me one adult
That knows how to hear.
"We are the future,"
At least thats what you said.
I wanna know:
Who's the hope of today?
There's no lookin back now for you
Is there kid?

All of your ghosts,
Litter the horizon.
Glittering carcasses,
I guess that makes twice then.
Just like your daisies
and all of your buffallo,
You dont worry,
The children will mend what you tore.
