Smashing pumpkins - United States

'United States' by the Smashing Pumpkins from Zeitgeist(track 7)

Tired eyes
Closed for days
There's no regret
'Cause there's no place
I don't know
What I believe
But if I feel safe
What do I need

A home
A home
A home

Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me

Dulcet tongues
Whisper fast
The future yearns
Right now's the past
Rouse me soon
The end draws nigh
Who's side are you on
Your blood you cannot buy

Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to you

Well I
I feel alright
So tonight
I got to ask you why
Why deny it
It's no surprise
I've got to survive

Freedom shines the light ahead
I'll lead the last charge to bed
I said my last rights
I don't have to run scared no more

Fight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
At the light
At the light
Do you wanna watch me die

Let me be something good
Let me prove something real like I should
Let me embrace every single living thing
Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood

In the past, we all have to grow sometime.

A true SP fan would like their old stuff as well as new, because the Pumpkins are the Pumpkins are the Pumpkins - all the best band in the world.

[chezzcaker]

then just watch something else, dude...

[dazpatreg]

Wow I'm a guitarist and all I can listen to is the drums! I would love to have a band where I could have Jimmy Chamberlain, Danny Carey and Seán Kinney all backing me up. I would be deaf though...

@BrokenSouls counterpoint: the Simpsons

@blicksflicks Billy has said he use to be mad at god but realized we have our own choices in life and it's not god's fault, after all we have free will. TSP never was anti-god anyway, even songs like Zero were artistic metaphor.

Dulcet tongues

Whisper fast

The future yearns

Right now's the past

Rouse me soon

The end draws nigh

Who's side are you on

Your blood you cannot buy

What a song, what an album, what a band. The Smashing Pumpkins for ever!

[nicholsjoshua15]

@TheCandyHole That was Billy Joel dude.

[blicksflicks]

Zeitgeist. Meaning spirit of the times or spirit of the age. I wonder if anyone looks into the lyrics and stuff famous artists put out. It's totally against God completely. But, there you have it in the video: Zeitgeist. Makes you think, huh?

[mrpumpkinn]

@buckinkc that offer still open?

[TheGoodchild86]

Anthem.



[TheCandyHole]

gotta love how Billy Corgan is all "REVOLUTION!" than goes on later to sue thepiratebay,delicious irony

[Emmithepaladin]

This song reminds me a lot of Siverf*ck -- which was an amazing song. Interesting sound; still Pumpkin-esque.
