Edwin McCain Lyrics

Album: Honor Among Thieves

Thirty Pieces Lyrics

Thirty pieces of silver screen

 Deep inside our souls

 How did we betray our imagination

 Watching our futures unfold

 Without a whisper for fear of intrusion

 We have to see how this part ends

 

 Time out for commercials

 Time out to be good friends

 But our generation's angry

 We're so scared that we can't see

 The answer right inside of us

 If we can find the place in our hearts where we're all free

 

 Does it see that time works against us

 Or does it just march on and on and on

 Sometimes it drives me crazy

 Proving Nostradamus wrong, so wrong

 But we still have secret silos with buttons, codes and keys

 We can avert this awful disaster 

 If we find the place in our hearts where we're all free

 

 And what a tall order

 Far be it for me to say

 Maybe I'll try a little harder

 Starting here today

 Or just throw in the towel

 Lay down five up the ghost

 And join all the cynics

 Luckier than most

 Maybe I'll check out with a bullet

 Would you think less of me

 Or would it frighten you enough

 Would it rattle you enough

 Would it frighten you enough to...

 

 Find the place in our hearts where we're all free
