Lyrics for Exodus Damage as interpreted by awsugarcomeon

Exodus Damage Lyrics
I'll see you next fall
At another gun show
I'll call the day before, like usual

But I wanted so much more
I got exodus damage bleed
Could not commit
Some things I'll never be

So now we're talking about this
I'm starting to lose my confidence
No one ever says a word about
So much that happens in the world

Dance Dance Revolution
All we're gonna get
Unless it falls apart
So I say: go, go, go, go down
Let it fall down
I'm ready for the end

So the second plane hit at 9:02
I saw it live on a hotel T.V.
Talking on my cell with you
You said this would happen
And just like that, it did
Wrong about the feeling
Wrong about the sound
But right to say we would stand down

An hour went by without a fighter in the sky
You said there's a reason why
So tell me now, I must confess
I'm not sick enough to guess

Dance Dance Revolution
All we're gonna get
Unless it falls apart
So I say: go, go, go, go down
Let it fall down
I'm ready for the end

So you hope that one person
Could solve everything
And for me, that's you
Sometimes that dream
Is a sad delusion
But sometimes it's true

So now we're talking about this
I'm starting to lose my confidence
No one ever says a word about
So much that happens in the world

Dance Dance Revolution
All we’re gonna get
Unless it falls apart
So I say: go, go, go, go down
Let it fall down
I'm ready for the end

A disenfranchised youth who plays video games but dreams of bringing down governments.

from Vanderslice himself, the song makes more sense now... Michael Fortier, by the way, worshipped McVeigh:

an erstwhile anti-government militant regrets his shaky commitment to the cause. but is his emotional connection to a mentor about more than politics?

for every dozen michael fortiers, there is only one timothy mcveigh.

title from "black and brown blues" by the silver jews:
"rub out the catlight,
rub out the village
red and white exit light
that's exodus damage
why don't people think of who they use?
why don't you try and come and get me: black and brown blues"

This song is without a doubt the events surrounding 9/11 that the mainstree media, and most people don't even talk/ or know about!

"you said this would happen, and just like that, it did" a man named Alex Jones predicted 9/11.. you can youtube his name and get a video of it...

"an hour went by without a fighter in the sky"
Dick Cheney was in chard of North Americas Air Defense that day. ONE HOUR AND TWENTY MIN's went by after the second plane hit before any security jets were scrambled. THAT IS RIDICULOUS!

look up 911truth.org or infowars.com there's really so much stuff surrounding 9/11 that the mainstreem media doesn't mention.. i wouldn't call it a conspiricy, i'd call it overwhelming facts that don't add up... this is one amazing amazing song.

John Vanderslice is a songwriter whose best songs are about more than one thing at a time. Yes, this song is about 9-11. And about Timothy McVeigh and domestic right-wing terrorists and militia. And about fascism. And about conspiracy, propaganda, religion, government corruption, and the intersection of interpersonal relationships and political acts and beliefs.

This song was also my first exposure to Vanderslice, and everything else of his work I've heard since has also been consistently excellent. My current fave Vanderslice song is a recent discovery: "They Won't Let Me Run" from his 2004 album "Cellar Door".

If you've got an iTunes acount and a spare dollar, go buy "They Won't Let Me Run" now. You will deem it a dollar very well spent, I warrant.

Keep your "truther" bullshit away from this amazing song. Even if your cause was valid thats not what this song is about.

Thanks for posting that yep1.

I get the impression from this song that the second thoughts the singer is having in the song is a result of seeing the 9/11 attacks on television. Watching such grotesque violence only makes his cause seem even more senseless. His mentor (and lover?) seems to disagree ("wrong about the feeling, wrong about the sound") with this conclusion, but agrees to put their plans on hold ("right to say we should stand down").
