Walk On The Flood

They kill it in the comedy clubs, killing in the schools
Make a killin' on Wall Street, it? s just the golden rule
Do unto others is surely what they do
Remember the memories, we were all once children too
Ashes, ashes, all in the name of who?
We say howdy neighbor? I love you, mom and dad
But if you’re a stranger you must want something we have
I know you don’t like me, am I really that bad?
Remember the schoolyard, there were no strangers, oh, in that sand
Fascist, fascist, ooh, let’s see a show of hands
All gonna fly, we’re gonna need a safe place tonight
This is the picture I painted this morning
These are the colors, memories forming
These are the pictures that we painted together
We elected our leaders, so we’ve been told
Got no right to complain, oh, we’ve bought what they sold
Slogan of the day is put peace on hold
Lennon would have us laughing, oh, if we’d just let him grow old
Pacifist, pacifist, oh, ain’t we a sight to behold?
Some people feel so much, we’re making new drugs
Mister Rogers and Oprah, other channels have blood
Tryin', dyin', water and mud
Forgive for the love, take a walk on the flood
Forgiving for the love, walk on the flood
Ashes, ashes, and blood on the flood
This is the picture I painted this morning
These are the colors, oh, this was my warning
These are the pictures
These are the pictures I painted this morning
These are the colors, memories forming
These are the pictures, oh, we painted together
