In 2007, Billy Corgan had recently reformed his band and was booking residencies at various musical venues. He interacted with the audience for weeks at a time in an attempt to reconfigure the band and reestablish it’s direction.
Billy wrote this during one of those residencies after sitting in his...
Peace and love aren't fair
When you're stuck out there
Standing on your own
Trying to catch a wave
Even though i will
Even if i won't
Even when i signal that we'd get back home
Ask me what to say
I'll point to the sky
Ask me what i need to tell you a lie
Just ask me what i need to tell you all a lie
[Harmonica Solo]
There's a crowd outside
Calling for our lives
Peace and love, we're here
Living in an old school bus
Ask me where i think
I'll say i have to leave
Is it this in me
That strikes your side so bold?
Ask me for tonight
I'll pat you on your back
And find a way to pay you all soul right back
Gonna find a way to pay you all right back
[2nd Harmonica Solo]
Peace and love ain't there
When you're caught on fire
A bird's nest in my hair
Fourteen missiles in my gut
So ask me what i think
I'll tell you i owe no one
And leave without another peep
Or a lie
Waving to that crowd
That's calling for our necks
But tell you what i need to tell you the truth
Gonna tell you what i need to tell you the truth
[3rd Harmonica Solo]
In the redwood pines
They stole out my spine
In this town called zen
I'm asking where it went
The joke about the fog
The one about your dog
The one about where we all seem to
Get along
Lifted from the mines
And sifted through my mouth
A blessing so you'll never have to
Dig back down
Blessings so you'll never have to
Dig back down
[4th Harmonica Solo]
Supposing i admit defeat
Fearing what comes next
At my master's feet
On the mount of Lazarus
Ask me what to do
I'll just point to you
And ask you what i need to tell you the truth
Take this second look
Imagine what's been robbed
Imagine if we wanted we'd all get along
Imagine if you wanted we'd all get along
[Harmonica Outro]
