White Crosses - Goldentone Studio Version by Against Me! Lyrics

I wake up in the morning and I drink from the fountain
I wake up in the morning with the same unanswered questions
I don't know what's gonna cure my unsettled stomach

Street kids collect spare change in a conch shell on the sidewalk
Their teeth are yellow, their hair is tangled
Their minds are vapid and they laugh wild in their depravity

I make my way back home to you
Head north on St. Marco Avenue
White crosses on the church lawn
I want to smash them all

I want to smash them all

Ponytails swinging back and forth behind bleached blonde
College girls out for a jog
St. Augustine, shine your light down on me

Pop hits from the '90s echo out of tourist-filled bars
I'm met with arms crossed under
Dirty looks, I am treated like a common thief
I make my way back home to you
Head north on St. Marco Avenue
White crosses on the church lawn
I want to smash them all

I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all

Eavesdropping in on conversations
I wander aimless, staring at strangers
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me

Eyeballed with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels
You realize that you're talking to yourself
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay

I make my way back home to you
Head north on St. Marco Avenue
White crosses on the church lawn
I want to smash them all

Looking for context and perspective
Looking for some kind of distraction
White crosses on the church lawn
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
I want to smash them all
