The Walkabouts - They Are Not Like Us lyrics

Fear is weightless Anger weighs a ton Throw money at it And they swear they're done Then they drive out here To investigate some crime But the trails gone cold So that buys us time They are not like us 'Cause they can't stare it down And they don't drink like us 'Cause they don't make a sound We will not go silent Silent to our end We will not go silent They need a "them" So they'll have an "us" Planned it that way It's just our luck We walk an edge That won't fold back But it tastes like courage Something that they lack I'll race them to oblivion When I count to three I'll race them to oblivion They'll get there before me Race them to oblivion Come when it will Come when it may The desert teaches ‘cause it takes away We are bird And we are snake Bones of laughter Thorns of hate
