Intro: 2x We took the highway till the road went black We marked Truth or Consequences on our map A voice drifted up from the radio Some other voice from long ago: Who ll be the last to die for a mistake the last to die for a mistake Whose blood will spill whose heart will break? Who ll be the last to die for a mistake? The kid’s asleep in the back seat we’re just counting the miles you and me We don’t measure the blood we’ve drawn anymore; we just stack the bodies outside the door Who’ll be the last to die for a mistake the last to die for a mistake Whose blood will spill whose heart will break? Who’ll be the last to die for a mistake? The wise men were all fools; what to do? 2x The sun it sets in flames as the city burns; another day gone down as the night turns And I hold you here in my heart as things fall apart A downtown window flushed with life; faces of the dead at five (faces dead at five) Her martyr’s silent eyes; petition the drivers as we pass by: Who’ll be the last to die for a mistake the last to die for a mistake Whose blood will spill whose heart will break? Who’ll be the last to die? Who’ll be the last to die for a mistake? The last to die for a mistake? Darling your tyrants and kings fall to the same fate; strung up at your city gates Who’ll be the last to die for a mistake? 2x
