Sudden Urge
by Rise Against

Album: Nowhere Generation

Verse 1
We are names and we are faces
Not listed in the pages
You're searching line by line
The voices in the wire
The glass under your tires
The panic in your eyes

Pre-Chorus
And when we start to lose control
And when we start to lose our minds
That's when I close my eyes

Chorus
And feel a sudden urge
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
To watch this whole town burn
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Light up the whole damn sky
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Like the Fourth of July
Like the Fourth of July, hey

Verse 2
I am as patient as a volcano
A butterfly in a landmine field
I am a dandelion making guns go silent
Sticking out of every barrel, cold as steel

Pre-Chorus 2
And in this fight you've started
I'm a moving target
And I'm sick of running
But the pain keeps coming

Chorus
Like a sudden urge
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
To watch this whole town burn
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Light up the whole damn sky
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Like the Fourth of July
Like the Fourth of July, hey

Bridge
Searching for something worth saving from this fire
Try to envision the glass half-full
Give me a reason to smother these flames now
Before they begin to grow

Pre-Chorus
I can't stop the sky from falling
All I hear are voices calling
Asking, "Have you come to heal us?"
Touch my shaking hand

Chorus
You'll feel a sudden urge
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
To watch this whole town burn
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Light up the whole damn sky
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Like the Fourth of July
The Fourth of July

Outro
From branch to root, we are black inside
Scorching the earth like it's the Fourth of July
If everything you knew was a goddamn lie
Would you up and explode
Like it's the Fourth of July?
