lyrics

Omaha

I heard them say that Omaha will burn
When the standard bearer falls,
And the skaters by the statues
Turn their backs against the wall.

I heard them say Los Angeles will burn
When the beaches turn to fire,
And the sea life lie across the sand
Emotional and tired.

Omaha, Omaha.
If I could save you then I would save you.
Omaha, Omaha
I’ll always feel the shame
But the world remains the same.

I heard them say when New York City burns
They’ll come crawling from the water,
From the libraries and museums
For a front seat at the slaughter.

Omaha, Omaha.
If I could save you then I would save you.
Omaha, Omaha
I’ll always feel the shame
But the world remains the same.

They’ll be standing in a row, there won’t be any smiles,
Remembering the price they paid;
The life blood that they left behind,
The blind and twisted love they gave.

Omaha, Omaha.
If I could save you then I would save you.
Omaha, Omaha
I’ll always feel the shame
But the world remains the same.

Omaha, Omaha.
If I could save you then I would save you.
Omaha, Omaha
I’ll always feel the shame
But the world remains the same.
