Red Carpet And Rebellion Lyrics
Red carpet and rebellion
Makes you wonder at these established ones
They ain't out to get you
Cause you're a mile away
Fuck
I heard a siren, a city waring, they said a new dawn arrives in the morning
So I wait out tonight for the, the new sunrise
They laid me to rest with an, an aberration
I woke up the living dead colossally mistaken
I ran through the streets and I broke down
There aint no money there ain't no time
Yeah I'm out of my mind
Don't want to waste this away
I feel shamed when I am and shamed when I'm not
The configuration of the American dream
Fuck
The palace disled in the streets were burning
The red horizon, came crashing through the morning
There was no contentment, only bloodshed
Red blood and social discontent, bruised and puritan
Oh puritan exempt
It's like a peasant uprising
St. Petersburg, 1905
Father Garpan led the protest...up inside...up inside
We are gone, we are gone, we are gone,
I'll run a mile till I find a hung jury
Where there is ar ed carpet there is rebellion
Red carpet and rebellion
Make you wonder why they smell so bad
They're out to get you cause you're a mile away
Makes you wonder at these established ones
They ain't out to get you
Cause you're a mile away
Fuck
I heard a siren, a city waring, they said a new dawn arrives in the morning
So I wait out tonight for the, the new sunrise
They laid me to rest with an, an aberration
I woke up the living dead colossally mistaken
I ran through the streets and I broke down
There aint no money there ain't no time
Yeah I'm out of my mind
Don't want to waste this away
I feel shamed when I am and shamed when I'm not
The configuration of the American dream
Fuck
The palace disled in the streets were burning
The red horizon, came crashing through the morning
There was no contentment, only bloodshed
Red blood and social discontent, bruised and puritan
Oh puritan exempt
It's like a peasant uprising
St. Petersburg, 1905
Father Garpan led the protest...up inside...up inside
We are gone, we are gone, we are gone,
I'll run a mile till I find a hung jury
Where there is ar ed carpet there is rebellion
Red carpet and rebellion
Make you wonder why they smell so bad
They're out to get you cause you're a mile away

i really like this song, its great
good fucking song
i love it coz of brody's voice at the begining, i love the distilars and the lucky cow got tim from rancid!! far too lucky!!! distilars rule!!
chorus beats all.
song's about bloody sunday, a revolt that happnedi n 1905 in Russia. and this song just fucking rocks.
Does this song have anything to do with communism? I kinda get a pro-communism vibe from it. I like it.
It's about how social inequality ("red carpet" as a metaphor for rich & privileged) and how it leads to rebellions and death of people.
'Father Garpan' should be 'Father Gapon' - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gapon
