lyrics

All tears are true blue under the North American sky.
But no tears will appear until the Age of Crying.

You remember 9?
9.
Was that the age of crying?
You remember 14?
--92 and that whole time?
I don’t know about you,
but that murder was mine.
No tears.
No tears in the age of killing.
No tears after you die.
We’ve had some tears of rage,
but we haven’t reached the age.
Aren’t things today horrid enough
to reach the age of majority?

You remember 18--
--62, my own country?
That slaughter was ours,
I don’t know about you.
and 1915 or --42?
Good thing that milk
has already been spilled, phew.

One of the main things you do
as President of the U.S.
is address the families of victims,
holding in the tears, or do your best.

No tears in the age of killing.
No tears until we’re willing.
This is the age,
this is the age of killing.

All tears are true blue under a North American sky.
But true tears won’t appear until we reach the Age of Crying.

This is not it, at any rate.
Until we admit what we fear is at stake,
all present tears will be mistakes.
All present tears will be mistakes.
