Rise Against – Survivor Guilt Lyrics 14 years ago
Some of these lyrics are incorrect.

["what are you talking about? America isn't going to be destroyed"
"never? Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed.
All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you really think your own country will last? Forever?"]

Block the entrances
Close the doors
Seal the exits
Because this is war

All gave some
Some gave all
But for what
I want to know

Carry on
Don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight
Bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?

A folded flag
A purple heart
A family all but torn apart
I fought with courage to preserve
Not my way of life, but yours

Carry on
Don't mind me
All I gave was everything
And yet you ask me for more
Fought your fight
Bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?

The cowards preach from pedestals
With words like courage and resolve
But what they meant was fuck them all
Because freedom isn't free

They send our daughters and our sons
To deserts under burning suns
A sacrificial slaughtering to fill
The pockets of the weak
An artificial enemy
Are we so easily deceived?

["You're a shameful opportunist. What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
"You have it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know."]

Carry on
Just walk away
How many more sent to their graves
In this lesson ignored?
I fought your fight
Bought your lie
And in return I lost my life
What purpose does this serve?
What purpose did I serve?

Rise Against – Satellite Lyrics 14 years ago
Taken from the album booklet, although these are the given lyrics, it's not what he always sings. (the additions of that's why we etc) Also the mis-spellings etc are the given spellings in the book.

You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flames
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
You won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it

We won't back down we won't run and hide
Because these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
We stick to you game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the Amerikan dream
So shine your light on me

You can't fill your cup until you empty all it has
You can't understand what lays ahead if
You don't understand the past
You'll never learn to fly until you're
Standing at the cliff
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it

We won't back down we won't run and hide
Because these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
We stick to you game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the Amerikan dream
So shine your light on me

She told me that she never
Could face the world again
So I offered up a plan:

We'll sneak out
While 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 won't back down we won't run and hide
Because these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
We stick to you game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the Amerikan dream
So shine your light on me
Because these are the things that we can't deny now
This is a life that you can't deny us now
