New Cannonball Blues Lyrics
Hey girls, hey boys
No don't mind the noise
It's just the sound of being dragged to hell
It's just a pornographic adulation ship
As we watch the spider's web eat itself
Oh, there's death above extinguishing
All that you've ever known
Turn your touch keys off
And start harvesting
We see if they jump
Very soon
It's got me singin'
Blues that hit you like a cannonball
Loud enough to break your bones
But it was written in blood
Before they wrote it in stone
So sing it with me
Like it's your own
It's got me fucked up and dried up
And fed up to get up
And bleeding and crying
Like I'm mad at the song
I'm a carbon copy
Now they got me
Oh, I don't get where we're going
It's got you strung out and bothered
And caught up and drownin'
And failin' and shot up
And feelin' you gotta run
You're a carbon copy
Now they got me
Oh, I don't get where we're going
You're gettin' backwards stayin' low luck
On the four hundred blows
Makes you feel like you're all by yourself
So when the chance comes along
Where you could help right a wrong
The bullshit's got you stuck up on the shelf
But it's heavy
I'm not ready
Do you feel like you're swimming in the moat?
Well baby follow the sound
That's shootin' out of your crown
There's only one way up from the floor
It's got me fucked up and dried up
And fed up can't get up
And bleeding and crying
Like I'm mad at the song
I'm a carbon copy
Now they got me
Oh, I don't get where we're going
It's got you strung out and bothered
And caught up and drownin'
And failin' and shot up
And feelin' you gotta run
You're a carbon copy
Now they got me
Oh, I don't get where we're going
Now, gonna tiptoe
Gonna run right forward
No, not the first time
We've been run like dogs
Oh, feel the flat bed
In the foreign ward
Oh, raise your fist up
Brush the dust off
Boy it's got, got,
It's got me singing
Blues that hit you like a cannonball
Loud enough to break your bones
But it was written in blood
Before they wrote it in stone
So sing it with me
Like it's your own
Those blues that hit you like a cannonball
Loud enough to break your bones
But we're still rising in love
Before we take in the song
So sing it with me
Like it's your own
Baby zip up and get up
Get ready to push up
Hey baby get ready 'cause
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna come
If we want to see what's possible for her
Won't move away right now
You better dust off and get up
Get ready to push up
Hey baby get ready 'cause
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna come
When the truth is spoken
Love's a workin'
Nothing's gonna weigh us down
No don't mind the noise
It's just the sound of being dragged to hell
It's just a pornographic adulation ship
As we watch the spider's web eat itself
All that you've ever known
Turn your touch keys off
And start harvesting
We see if they jump
Very soon
Blues that hit you like a cannonball
Loud enough to break your bones
But it was written in blood
Before they wrote it in stone
So sing it with me
Like it's your own
And fed up to get up
And bleeding and crying
Like I'm mad at the song
Now they got me
Oh, I don't get where we're going
And caught up and drownin'
And failin' and shot up
And feelin' you gotta run
Now they got me
Oh, I don't get where we're going
On the four hundred blows
Makes you feel like you're all by yourself
So when the chance comes along
Where you could help right a wrong
The bullshit's got you stuck up on the shelf
I'm not ready
Do you feel like you're swimming in the moat?
Well baby follow the sound
That's shootin' out of your crown
There's only one way up from the floor
And fed up can't get up
And bleeding and crying
Like I'm mad at the song
Now they got me
Oh, I don't get where we're going
And caught up and drownin'
And failin' and shot up
And feelin' you gotta run
Now they got me
Oh, I don't get where we're going
Gonna run right forward
No, not the first time
We've been run like dogs
Oh, feel the flat bed
In the foreign ward
Oh, raise your fist up
Brush the dust off
Boy it's got, got,
It's got me singing
Loud enough to break your bones
But it was written in blood
Before they wrote it in stone
So sing it with me
Like it's your own
Loud enough to break your bones
But we're still rising in love
Before we take in the song
So sing it with me
Like it's your own
Get ready to push up
Hey baby get ready 'cause
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna come
Won't move away right now
Get ready to push up
Hey baby get ready 'cause
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna come
Love's a workin'
Nothing's gonna weigh us down

It's a song about people getting up and trying to fix what's wrong against all odds. The only way the world can change for the better is through hard work and inspiration, don't be afraid to fight for what you believe, because what we take as the norm was written in blood before it was written in stone. Someone fought for what you take for granted every day.
It reminds me of the revolutions going on right now, people being inspired to make wide scale change for the better, putting their lives on the line for what they believe is a brighter future. Very inspiring.
great song about consumerism stifling a generation's rebellious spirit although some countries' youths still have that rebellion in their hearts, in north america corporations have tried to stop that by making people feel the need to keep up with the latest gadgets and toys, hence these lyric suggestions...
hey girls, hey boys no don't mind the noise it's just the sound of being dragged ahead...
and for the part you have ? at:
...all this death above extinguishing all that we've ever known turn your touch screens off and start harvesting the seeds that your parents sowed...
