Against Pollution - The Mountain Goats

When I worked down at the liquor store

Guy with a shotgun came raging through the place

Muscled his way behind the counter

I shot him in the face

This morning I went down to the Catholic church

Cause something just came over me

Forty-five minutes in the pews

Praying the rosary

When the last days come

We shall see visions

More vivid than sunsets

Brighter than stars

We will recognize each other

And see ourselves for the first time

The way we really are

Decorative grating on my window

Gets a little rustier every year

I don’t know how the metal gets rusty

When it never rains here

A year or so ago I worked at a liquor store

And a guy came in

Tried to kill me, so I shot him in the face

I would do it again, I would do it again

When the last days come

We shall see visions

More vivid than sunsets

Brighter than stars

We will recognize each other

And see ourselves for the first time

The way we really are
