The End Of The Race

When they came in the night, they said we'll take what

we like,

I said I'd wish you well, but I’ve been living like

hell,

I don’t have what you need, but I can tell you what I

can see,

I close my eyes and go to sleep I feel the gun press to

my cheek

I see the ocean rolling fast I see the grass I see the

grass,

I see it swallow up the past I see the grass I see the

grass,

I see there hands empty at last I see the grass I see

the grass,

and all you ask me all you ask, all you ask, all you

ask,

"What have you got for me?"

"What have you got for me?"

You knew that this day was coming on

I woke at first daylight, the suns still shining just

as bright,

'cuz yesterday when it seems, the world could end

inside a dream,

I put on boots and went outside, the enemy still

shooting wide,

If they believe what I see, they wouldn’t shoot so

thoughtlessly

I see the ocean rolling fast I see the past I see the

grass,

I see I see their hands empty at last I see the grass I

see the grass,

I see it swallow up the past I see the grass I see the

grass,

and all you ask may all you ask, all you ask, all you

ask,

"What have you got for me?"

"What have you got for me?"

You knew that this day was coming so, why didn’t you

start running? Your hands are now too full to get away

This aint gunna stop till something, cures you of all

your wanting, until you lose what you won't give away

Its time to make peace with this place

call this the end of the race
