Crashing Gates And Passing Keepers Lyrics

They saw us coming

From miles away

Jubilant train

Wearing a pink boa and feathers like an exotic bird

Double headed

Breathing smoke

Looking for a line to quote

Waiting to jump the rope

To change the vote

To witness hope

In the newest thing

Called freedom

But they said no way

And they wore the same coats

Khaki brown and faded

Typed at the same machines

And tried to box up all the dreams

In neat little packages

Like widgets for the factory

All the while watching big brother watching

Big brother watching

Big brother watching...

'But we are crashing gates

And we are passing over the gate keepers"

We are the new

And we are marching like a jubilant train

Through your towns

Past your landscapes of lame ducks

Past the lines of indifference

Past the stormtroopers of compromise

The deputies of damage control

The officers of fear

As they hand out their tickets to the deaf and the dumb and the younger ones

To the very old, the influential, the disturbed, the zealots, the sheltered, the innocent.

We pass through the gates

Like the dawning of a new age

Like the turning of a new page

Like the birth of a new son

Like freedom

On a roll

Wearing nothing but a smile on our faces

And our hands up in the air
