Sudden Urge - Rise Against

作词：Tim McIlrath

作曲：Joe Principe/Brandon Barnes/Zach Blair/Tim McIlrath

We are names and we are faces

Not listed in the pages

You're searching line by line

The voices in the wire

The glass under your tires

The panic in your eyes

And when we start to lose control

And when we start to lose our minds

That's when I close my eyes

And feel a sudden urge

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

To watch this whole town burn

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Light up the whole damn sky

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Like the Fourth of July

Like the Fourth of July hey

I am as patient as a volcano

A butterfly in a landmine field

I am a dandelion making guns go silent

Sticking out of every barrel cold as steel

And in this fight you've started

I'm a moving target

And I'm sick of running

But the pain keeps coming

Like a sudden urge

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

To watch this whole town burn

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Light up the whole damn sky

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Like the Fourth of July

Like the Fourth of July hey

Searching for something worth saving from this fire

Try to envision the glass half-full

Give me a reason to smother these flames now

Before they begin to grow

I can't stop the sky from falling

All I hear are voices calling

Asking Have you come to heal us

Touch my shaking hand

You'll feel a sudden urge

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

To watch this whole town burn

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Light up the whole damn sky

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Like the Fourth of July

The Fourth of July

From branch to root we are black inside

Scorching the earth like it's the Fourth of July

If everything you knew was a goddamn lie

Would you up and explode

Like it's the Fourth of July
