Jesse Malin - Aftermath Lyrics

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
