Lyrics

I should very much like to speak to Mr. Coalhouse Walker, Jr Try turnin' around and goin' back where you came from, cracker What is it you want? Um... I... I... I... I want to... I know that if... Oh... He wanted to say "I am sick of the injustices." He wanted to say "I have passion in my heart In a world of callow strangers Let your dangers be my dangers Let this be the battle In which I was born to take part." He wanted to say "I reject the world's complacency." He wanted to say "Give me something to believe." "In my soul, I am your brother We are bound to one another Angered by the darkness in life And the lies we perceive." But all he said was... "I know how to blow things up." He wanted to say... "I am not who I appear to be." He wanted to say... "Do not blame me for my past." "Every day I wake up knowing Something's lost and something's owing This was deep inside me And you helped me find it at last." We are comrades in the struggle That goes on across the earth Comrades in the struggle Brothers in the night In the cause of justice, brothers We must fight for all we're worth With dynamite and wires And sheer desire We'll light the heavens And show the bastards Fire in the sky! Fire in the sky! Fire in the sky! He wanted to say... "How I envy you your innocence." He wanted to say... "You're a fool as well as brave." "In my soul I am your brother We are bound to one another Angered by the darkness in life And the strip to the grave." "On the last strip to the grave." But all he said was... "We have rules here." I'll follow them "There is no turning back." None. What do you call yourselves? "We are all righteous men. We call ourselves Coalhouse." Coalhouse! Coalhouse! Now we're all Coalhouse!
