The Shouters
------------

The shouters came for you that night
"We need you for a higher cause"
You'll never be a boy again
You'll never be a boy again

They took you to a fallen place
You wore the badge of their disgrace
The world is full of thieves
You'll never be a boy again

They filled your ears with sugar
They dipped your legs in plaster
They shot your mouth with novocaine
and sealed your eyes with bandages
They crush the kiss with their success
They crush the kids with their success

I have not come these many miles
to fool you in these sacred isles
The war is in the mind
The war is in the mind

I give to you a piece of mine
I give to you a peace of mind

Re:> the shouters

The Shouters....I wrote this, words n' music(except, of course,
all the cool shit Andrew and Marc do) but Nathan is partially
responsible, as he kept telling me to keep writing it, and
helped me see it's beauty.

thanks for posting these, i hadnt seen the lyrics database yet, im happy thats available - another question, i read somewhere that the shouters was about the war on terror, can anyone elaborate on what exactly the song might mean and how it relates to the war on terror?

i vaguely recall some discussion about the origins of this song, but i can't remember the specifics...i think you're on the right track though.
