lyrics

Let's stick together. Let's stand around.
While the police are cordoning off the whole area
Let's stand in raincoats and watch it go down
Let's stand on the edge of your stoop on 17th street
As the demonstration marches by
Let's be the ones they cannot figure out.

Let's skip town when things get hot
Some things are worth standing trial for,
Some are not.
I'm in this to run off with you anyway.

Let's go to the edge of the map,
To a second rate town
To a dirty old bar
The kind with linoleum curling the floor
And things that are pickled and sold out of jars

Let's spend more than one afternoon drawing on napkins there
Making our plans, making out
You say that it's who controls history's the problem.
Let's give the new world a try

I wonder what you'd be like in the country.
I haven't been through not near enough crimes yet, I know.
But I'm certain I'll do whatever it takes if we go.

Let's stick together. Let's stand around
While the police are cordoning off the whole area
Let's stand in raincoats and watch it go down
You say that it's who controls history's the problem
You say that they smile and there's fur on their teeth
You say that my silence is reactionary
And i just say nothing. i just watch you leave
I say I've been saying the same thing for months now:
All that i want is you day after day
And I've already changed all that's inside me
Do whatever you want, do whatever you say.
You say that I'm weak when it comes to commitment
I talk of explosives and changing the world
But i'll just stand there and watch from the cordon
I'll watch you leave without saying a word.
