Victims of the Age Songtext
von Mark Heard

Asphalt ocean roars
At islands with rubber wheels
City kid can′t keep on even keel
Neon world says, "Gotcha"
Heart says, "No, no no Don't be swimming in the undertow"
Caught between these voices
The sirens and the sage
One too many choices
For the victims of the age


Radio says, "I love you"
Street says, "That′s a lie"
Billboard says, "Give anything a try"
Sidewalks don't say nothing
Streetlights don't ask why
Could stars be screaming in the evening sky?

Caught between these voices
The sirens and the sage
One too many choices
For the victims of the age
