[Verse 1]
Blacktop pavement cover me
Like a chemical reaction or a steam roller spreading randomly
There's a distant buzz at low frequency
It tickles my ear, it rumbles under my feet
And it shakes the leaves off of every tree violently
[Chorus]
What pretension! Everlasting peace
Everything must cease
[Verse 2]
Institution on the Hill
Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to ignite a people's will
There's a shadowed stain on the west facade
It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
And the descendants find it oh, so odd
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Grave memorial, hewn white stone
Like the comforting caress of a mother
Or a friend you've always known
It evokes such pain and significance
What was once is reduced to remembrance
And the generations pass without recompense
