Letra Aftermath Jesse Malin

Aftermath

The city was changing

The cigarette hit the spot

Oh a simple distraction

From to have and have not

And the radio went silent

And all our heroes had died

Now you can buy revolution

In any color or size

Standing on a corner

Watching people walk on

Thinking about a photograph

How so many people

Choose a lesser evil

Living in the aftermath

She never got famous

She was the star in my life

Til we drifted like runoff

Or two ships in the night

Standing on a corner

Watching people walk on

Thinking about a photograph

How so many people

Choose a lesser evil

Living in the aftermath

It's such a long hard road, such a long hard road

To hold on, and move on

I hope she's happy, I hope she's free

Somehow we choose our own destiny

From the eye of destruction

To the valley of tears

Before it all went to voice mail

And we rang in the year

And the mid-night martyrs

They still hang on the cross

You can die in the gutter baby

Or learn to live with the loss

Standing on a corner

Watching people walk on

Feeling like a photograph

How so many people

Choose a lesser evil

Living in the aftermath

Standing on a corner

Everbody's talking

Remember when we used to laugh

How so many people

Chose a lesser evil

Never giving peace a chance

It's such a long hard road

To hold on and move on boys

To hold on and move on til its gone
