The Last Stop

Dave Matthews Band · At The United Center (Chicago) [2001]

Silence is poetry.



Fire,

The sun is well asleep

The moon is high above

Fire grows from the east.

How is this hate so deep

To lead us all so blindly killing killing?

Fools are we

If hate's the gate to peace

This is the last stop

Raining tears



War the only way to peace?

Well I don't fall for that

Raining tears



You're righteous, so righteous, so righteous

You're always so right

Go ahead and dream

Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one

Rain tears, rain tears, rain



Oh no

Gracious even God

Bloodied on the cross

Your sins are washed enough.

A mother's cry:

"Is hate so deep?

Must my baby's bones

This hungry fire feed?"

Smoke clouds roll in,

Symphony of death

This is the last stop

Raining tears



Right is wrong now

Ha! Shut up your big lie

The black is white lie

You comb your hair to hide

Your lying eyes



You're righteous, so righteous, so righteous

You're always so right, oh my

But why your lie

Go ahead and dream

Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one

This is the last stop



Hate is always blowing up

But I hope that we can break it down

So it's not so black and white, black and white



This is the last stop



Hate is always blowing up

I hope that we can break it down

So it's not so black and white, black and white



You're righteous

You're righteous

You're righteous

You're always so right

But there you are nailing God to a tree

And then say forgive me, forgive me

and then lie



Go ahead and dream

Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one



Tears rain, tears rain, tears rain

This is the last stop



Hate is more than blowing up

But I hope that we can break it down

It's not so black and white, black and white. i believe i believe

so right
