1.	Every Head Bowed, And Every Eye Closed 05:53	lyrics	buy track
The city is a sound a cracked, unbroken sound lines that jaggedly drift up and down Boxes and blinking lights and windows like empty eyes an ever-fixed mark under the burning heart And all the while you smile Every head bowed, and every eye closed whisper something into the breeze… Like the old man and the sea I could just drift and sleep... Every eye closed, and every head down except yours… You stare like a statue Heaven knows that you've been warned Oh no… Rips and tears won't be mystically be healed. Lady in the rye, how do the little ones die? Do the little ones die when you smile? Don't you ever fold! Don't you ever blink! The left hand of God brings us to our knees... Every head bowed, and every eye closed whisper something into the breeze… Like the old man and the sea I could just drift and sleep... Every eye closed, and every head down except yours… You stare like a statue Those eyes, an undefeated blue An undefeated you...
2.	The Nation Is Watching (Arena Ready) 02:50	lyrics	buy track
The nation is watching A nation is watching Behind closed doors surrounding a box of glowing whores and headless children Suck it up, child! Here comes the whip… (suck it up!) Neighbors are watching The neighbors are watching And maybe we'll be there with all the "chickies" hand-in-hand in the meat line smile and singing, "Money!" Here comes the whip… child (suck it up!)
