Over the Rhine – Nothing Is Innocent lyrics
Album: The Trumpet Child
Wed wake the dead
With voices in our head
Weve gotten used to ignoring the truth
We close our eyes
And breathe and eat the lies
That tell us were so much better than you
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
All the kings men
Will serve scrambled eggs again
When white-washed walls come crashing down
Well blink and nod
And say, How odd
And wonder why old friends dont come around
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
The acid rain
We fear the pain
Will blister and burn the skin
But what is more
The fear we bore
Will eat us alive from within
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
For you and me
In the land of the free
Is anything innocent now?
