Shouts - Lee Ranaldo

Everybody's shouting / there’s shots out on the streets

I can’t hear the words they’re saying / could these be the sacred stories?

A caustic wind inside the walls

Harsh words rain down upon us all

Gathering a nation. I smell gasoline

The misfits and creations of endless magazines

False clues to what’s behind the door

Can you still see me at all?

It was complete chaos. Rioters set two cars on fire and then I saw

Looters break the window. i don’t know why. we weren’t being

Aggressive towards them, nothing like that. but they eventually...

They eventually passed over us and that’s when we were on the

Ground. i was just tryin' to calm her down: it was pretty scary for her,

And it... it just seemed like the right thing to do.

...Hysterical

They over-reacted...

Aftermath:

Not the type of excitement they were expecting.

It happened so fast.

I never expected it to turn into that situation, so quickly.

Six months ago...

Three weeks ago

To move...

To turn...

Not the type of excitement they were expecting...

I’ll embrace you on the ground / while cameras shoot the sounds

This whole world’s upside down, I still can hear the shouts

I’ll kiss you once and then we’ll crawl

Will you catch me if I fall?

Back to you

(Like you know I always do)
