Civilized

(Dean Madonia)
Words And Music by Scott Avery
civilized
(Scott Avery)

In a shipwrecked limousine
Half buried in the sand
We passed the bottle Œround and cried
For skies gone brown and wells gone dry

In memory of the civilized ...
memory of the civilized world
In memory of the civilized ...
memory of the civilized world

ŒRound the twisted metal doors
Of the blown-out city bank
We said goodbye to lesser gods
And danced like thieves against the odds

In memory of the civilized ...
memory of the civilized world
In memory of the civilized ...
memory of the civilized world

And when there was no choice
We spoke as if we had one voice
We spoke as if we had one voice
When there was no choice

When the highway broke apart
And every screen went blank
We sang a song with our new friends
And fed the fire with fives and tens

In memory of the civilized ...
memory of the civilized world
In memory of the civilized ...
memory of the civilized world
