Dear Maria

I’ve been faithful

Graceful

Fucked up (messed up)

Wasteful

Flying down the interstate

I been hopeless

Broken

Out in the open

With nothing pretty to my name

I’ve been rusting the silver lining

I’ve been searching the western skies

I am looking for peace of mind

There’s just noise on the radio

And violence on television

Rumors of radiation in the air

They’re playing god in space

And giving bullets to the children

Dear maria won’t you say a prayer

I’ve been stressed out

Let down

Stuck in a small town

Hope is a heavy thing ( heavy heavy )

I’ve been helpless

Jealous

Young and so restless

Trying to find some where free (trying to be free)

I’ve been racing the hands of time (i’ve been running)

I’ve been falling further behind ( beeehiinndd)

I am looking for peace of mind

There’s just noise on the radio

And violence on television

Rumors of radiation in the air

They’re playing god in space

And giving bullets to the children

Dear maria won’t you say a prayer

For the holy

The empty

The loaded

The burnt out and suffering

For the losers

The bruised

For the old

And the useless

And those shut down by history

There’s just noise on the radio

And violence on television

Rumors of radiation in the air

They’re playing god in space

And giving bullets to the children

Dear maria won’t you say a prayer
