And this, really is our first show here.
If you didn't know, this next song is about struggle, this band is not.
I need you to listen for one second.
Because this song is beeing broadcast on CNN across the world.
It's a tribute to those who lost their life on 9/11.
Because five years ago, two gigantic planes, smashed into the World Trade Center and killed three thousand people.
And then my brother and your brothers and sisters followed a war across the world where a hundred thousand more people lost their life.
And if you try to fix violence with violence you do nothing but create violence.
So for this song, I need you to know that for those of you who are younger than I am, you could do anything you want with your life. Any-fucking-thing at all.
And we can make this world anything that we want it to be.
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Then show it.
Distraction
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
There's a field nearby
With words written in stone
My love will not die
Please let it be known
This place is dead
It echoes through town
There isn't one voice
I haven't heard a sound
The planes flew in
Their bombs did too
The city fell flat
The fires, they grew
When the smoke comes in
It'll color this town
But I'll still have you
So I'll say it aloud
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
The friendship we made
Is a waste of our time
There's no one left here
To show future that's kind
It's a world of hate
Gone incredibly wrong
We cared too late
We just followed along
And the boys went down
With a gun in their hand
Their weapon of choice
Their knees in the sand
If that field nearby
Was still there to be used
Would you ever have known?
Those words were for you
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
I'll be your distraction
I'll be, I'll be yours
I'll be, I'll be yours
I'll be, I'll be yours
I'll be, I'll be yours
