"Signal The Riflemen" lyrics - SAY ANYTHING

SAY ANYTHING
"Signal The Riflemen"

I can't work
There's too many wars overseas
There's too much creative juice in me
To focus it on math

So I'll pace around
I'll chat with your answering machine
As my thoughts drift unto the unclean
I have to take a bath

You know, I know, they don't know anything
About you and me and all our kind
Reasonless, meaningless superiority
Slaughtered symphonies in our minds

This college cattle call
Ships of the hundred herds of young and wealthy work horse mules
The teachers label all the dreamers fools
"We're not their fucking tools!"

You and me can set them free together
With one hand on each other's
And the other on our weaponry, yeah
You and me can set them free together
All I need is your love, all I need is your love
All I need is your love, and a revolution

And you
They fit you inside of a box
They tie it with their proficient knots
To keep you in the dark

They're scared of your eyes
'Cause they radiate blue
Never ever stop dreaming the way you do
The future holds a "Fuck you!" for them all

One day, someday, I'll make it out of this
High school hell hole, fly away
Don't waste time being mad at everything
Freedom's only a breath away

Caps will fly up, signal the rifleman
Drop your gown and jet right out
The sky engulfed in our triumphant shouts
Yeah shout, shout it out!

You and me can set them free together
With one hand on each other's
And the other on our weaponry, yeah
You and me can set them free together
All I need is your love, all I need is your love
All I need is your love...

Let's make love on top of broken blackboards
I'll slide the colored chalk around your every curve
Our bodies warm and doused in perspiration
I'll dry your tears, with torn up college applications
Torn up college applications

You and me can set them free together
With one hand on each other's
And the other on our weaponry, yeah
You and me can set them free together
All I need is your love, all I need is your love
All I need is your love, all I need is your love

All I need is your love, all I need is your love
All I need is your love, and a revolution
