Letra After the music is over Mighty Mighty Bosstones

After the music is over

After the music is over
After the songs have been played
After the chaos that has been created
The memory's being obeyed
Regulations has got it in theory [?]
Stories were rarely the same
Some came for all the right reasons
Some wish now that they never came

After the music is over
After the lights are all out
After the damage that's been done
Is something we don't think about
What's left and what's not been forgotten
We move just a little each year
Somethin' went wrong, it was rotten
Some wish that they were never here

The wrath cut a path of such sorrow
So sad and so abrupt
Oh God, we can't let it corrupt
Any hope we have left for tomorrow
The final and the very last bestial [?]
Hold on tight to every shred that still exists
Remember all the pain and all the passion
Fight on with your heart, head, and fists

After the music is over
When what needs to be's been said
After the tears have all been shed
When it's over, what is after that?
After the music is over
When what needs to be's been said
After the tears have all been shed
When it's over, what is after that?
After the music is over
When what needs to be's been said
After the tears have all been shed
When it's over, what is after that?
When it's over, what is after that?

How can it be insanity has now become the norm?
Who knew you could just go from good so quickly to bad form?
To think, you blink or turn your back and then turn back around
And everything is different, inside out, and upside down
Goodbye Greg
Goodbye Jake
(After it is over, it won't happen overnight)
Goodbye Jacob
For our own sake
(When there's nothin' left to save about and nothin' left to buy [?])
Heaven can give
Heaven can take
(We'll still have each other after all that has been lost)
Heaven can cause
Your heart to break
(There are hopes that we can prime [?] together and rages to be crossed)
It feels unreal
It feels unfair
([?] after we've been counted then, and fight 'em if we must)
Heaven just take you
Heaven's a kid [?]
(Come together, we'll stand hand in hand and the actions end up dust)
To kill my brother
To kill my friend
(But there will sensory [?] are happy when we hear it end)
To kill each other
This is the end [?]
(After the music's over, we will hear the music once again)
After the music's over, we will hear the music again
