	Lyrics ALREADY DONE It was silent in Manhattan when the mountains tumbled down With waves of dust that scoured the streets 'til words themselves were drowned It’s a book of moving Polaroids: Jumpers jump and eyeballs bleed. A trail of tears to Jersey. The skyline on her knees. It’s already done. There’s a hole in Pennsylvania where the White House might've been Cause bad men learned to fly grenades but good ones pulled the pin And the Allegheny sings her prayers, a heroes' mass, a single grave Confetti ‘cross the forest marks the ticker-tape parade. It’s already done. Well I guess I never really understood the rules of war And who exactly it’s ok, or not, to go and burn Terror flies it’s flag up high -- this side white and that side black But terror’s just the timing -- who kicked first, and who kicked back It’s already done. If there was hope down in the rubble I’d hoped that it was this That in our vulnerability we’d open up our fists And lay hands upon the ruined and lay wrench upon the come unfixed And though we cannot heal them we shall see no more get sick It’s already done. Already done when I heard “less than human” come from the lips of our president Already done when I heard some guy shot some guy right through his turbaned head Already done when I heard eyes for eyes might somehow help us find our dead It’s already done when I heard our boys say the same words their boys said. If you’re gonna fly your flag my friend be mindful how it’s made And see it’s got six billion stars and stripes of every shade And hang it in the door frame until the door itself’s repaired 'Til all the grieving’s come its course and there’s no one left that’s scared Copyright 2003.
