David Johansen's Soul

I saw David Johansen singin' to an empty room
I saw neo fascists dressed as holy men.
I saw caskets driving down the interstate
I felt the temperature was changin'
There was static on the radio and I turned it up.
We’re all gonna get what we have coming to us.
We’re all gonna get what we deserve.
Spools run out of thread.
One day our lungs are gonna run out of breath.
We’re all gonna get what we deserve.
Well the lights are blinding and the air was filled with smoke.
The acidic smell of vomit crept up my nose.
I saw tempests in the desert.
I saw a nuclear horizon.
I heard the pipes creak and moan.
We’re all gonna get what we have coming to us.
We’re all gonna get what we deserve.
Spools run out of thread.
One day our lungs are gonna run out of breath.
We’re all gonna get what we deserve.
I saw «fear it"written on a bathroom wall.
I saw the truth spray painted on a passing box car.
I was lost in America but I still had hope.
I heard the applause and I saw David take his bow.
