[ Featuring the Deep ]
Was it dark on the edge of town
When did you know that they weren't
Going to take you home
And when they killed the engine
You would never feel it hum again
So did you ask the question
Did you ask them
Why do you hate love
Your mother on the courthouse steps
Surrounded by a protest
It makes no f*cking sense
Tail lights like candles in the pitch
Sing it with me one time
Westboro needs to burn tonight
This hate's not widespread
It is just loud
And like any other cancer
You have to cut it out
Why do you hate love
To speak the truth when it's uncertain
To be received by open arms or closed fists
Winning the hearts and minds isn't easy
When you can't put brains in statues
Or get blood to pump from a stone
You ought to know
Empty fields and haunted faces
Lift your voice to drown their hatred
Let every one who sings with us tonight
Make it home
Safe in this sound
