Signal the Rifleman

"I can't work.
There's too many wars over seas.
There's too much creative juice in me to focus in on that…
So I'll pace around,
I'll chat with your answering machine
As my thoughts drift into the unclean
I have to take them back.
You know,
I know,
they don't know anything
about you and me and all our kind.
Reasonless,
meaningless
superiority.
Slaughtered symphonies in our mind.
This college cattle call,
Ships of a hundred herds of young and wealthy work-horse mules.
The teachers labeled all the dreamers fools.
"We're not their fucking tool!"
You and me can set them free together.
With one hand on each others,
And the other on our weaponry,
Yeah!
You and me can set them free together.
All I need is your love,
And a revolution.
And you,
They fit 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 dreamin’ 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,
Freedoms only a breath away.
Caps will fly up,
Signal the rifleman.
Drop your gown and jet right out!
The skies engulfed in our triumphant shouts,
Yeah shout it, shout it out.
You and me can set them free together.
With one hand on each others and the other on a weapon yeah!
You and me can set them free together.
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 others and the other on a weapon
You and me can set them free together.
All I need is your love,
And a revolution."
