Song lyrics

I wake up in the morning
And I drink from the fountain,
I wake up in the morning
With the same unanswered questions,
I don't know what's going
To cure my unsettled stomach.
Street kids collect spare change
In a conch shell on the side walk,
Their teeth are yellow,
Their hair is tangled,
Their minds are vapid
And they laugh wild in their depravity.

[Chorus:]
I'll make my way back home to you,
Head north on San Marco Avenue,
White crosses on the church lawn,
I want to smash them all,
I want to smash them all

Pony tails swinging back and forth
Behind beach blonde college girls
Out for a jog.
Saint Augustine,
Shine your light down on me!
Pop hits from the 90's
Echo out of tourist filled bars,
I am met with arms crossed
Under dirty looks,
I am treated like a common thief.

[Chorus]

Eavesdropping in on conversations,
I wander aimless leering at strangers,
Strung out on the amphetamines
That you gave to me,
Eye-balled with suspicion
By a pencil skirt in high heels,
You realize that
You're talking to yourself.
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay.

[Chorus]

Looking for context and perspective,
Looking for some kind of distraction,
White crosses on the church lawn,
I want to smash them all,
I want to smash them all!
