lyrics

Did you trade your god for guns?
Did you sell your daughters for sons?
Have you washed away the tears with rain?
Have you packaged your pity with their pain?

Did you give away day for night?
Did you lose humanity in a fight?
Have you turned your back to the morning sun?
Will you take your blindness on the run?

Chorus
Dark roads going nowhere
Dark roads everywhere
Dark roads going nowhere
Dark roads you don’t care

Did you peddle your freedom for fame?
Did you find your truths in a poker game?
Have you walked away from a child in need?
Do you laugh when you turn and hear them scream?

Tell me what you believe
What makes you cry, what makes you bleed?
Dark roads going nowhere
Dark roads everywhere
Dark roads going nowhere
Dark roads you don’t care

Did you trade your god for guns?
Sell your daughters for sons?
Have you washed away the tears with rain?
Package your pity with their pain?

Chorus
