lyrics

How it all came to pass with the last breath on a fact check
One last lap around the track set to a laugh track
The wolf dance howls, and scowls at the TV
Sudden by disgrace now the face of the human race
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run into another time

Shotgun sounds and satellite streets weep
The homeless freak priest posing as the thought police
Naked to the masses how the Bible belt fell
Melted by a crowd and sheltered by a shell
With the vision of a, vision of a, vision of a, vision
Vision only of himself

Howl if you’re California
Howl if you’re misunderstood
Howl if you’re somebody’s baby
Howl for your voice to be heard

Liberty, liberty
Be here a while

Only winter waits on holiday rates and blind faith
Down with the desert and the vision of the golden gate
Fading with the sun while hope is on the run
Hanging from the sky and as tempting as an apple pie
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run into another time

Now remorse courses through the dark horse and the time warps
Heaven holding hammers and the gavels splash the water source
With the force of a man whose heart is out of tune
The lunatics are split but they're still feeding from the silver spoon
With a vision of, vision of a, vision of a, vision
Vision far from the truth

Howl if you’re California
Howl if you’re misunderstood
Howl if you’re somebody’s baby
Howl for your voice to be heard

Liberty, liberty
Be here a while.
