Lyrics - The Distillers Album - Red Carpet And Rebellion


Red carpet and rebellion
Makes ya wonder at these established ones
They ain’t out to get ya
‘Cause your a mile away

I heard a siren, a city warning
They said a new dawn arrives in the morning
So I wait out tonight, for the new sunrise
They laid me to rest with an, an aberration
I woke up the living dead colossally mistaken
I ran through the streets and I broke down

There ain’t no money, there ain’t no time
Yeah, I’m outta my mind, don’t wanna waste this away
Ashamed when I am and shamed when I’m not
Configuration of the american dream

The palace dialed in the streets were burning
The red horizon came crashing through the morning
There was no contentment only blood shed
Red blood and social discontent bruised by puritan
Oh puritan, exempt it’s like a peasant uprising

There ain’t no money, there ain’t no time
Yeah, I’m outta my mind, don’t wanna waste this away
Ashamed when I am and shamed when I’m not
Configuration of the american dream

St. Petersburg, 1905
Father garpan led the protest up inside, up inside

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are gone, yeah, yeah
We are gone, we are gone, we are gone
Oh, yeah

There ain’t no money, there ain’t no time
Yeah, I’m outta my mind, don’t wanna waste this away
Ashamed when I am and shamed when I’m not
Configuration of the american dream

Red carpet and rebellion
Makes ya wonder at these established ones
They ain’t out to get ya
‘Cause your a mile away
