Lyrics to Songs I Love (with vids)

People Live Here- Rise Against

Here's the next song everyone! It's been awhile since I uploaded another one planned for the next part. I like the messages they have in each song. Enjoy, and thank you all for reading! I don't own the song, band, lyrics, or video.
........
My god is better than yours.
And the walls of my house
Are so thick, I hear nothing at all.
I followed you out in the storm,
But it carried you off.
And I burned every picture of yours,
Was that not enough?
...
My gun is bigger than yours.
So let's arm the masses,
And see what the bastards do then.
Walking tall once set us apart,
Now we're down on all fours.
Do you cry my name in the dark,
Like I do yours?
....
These storms are getting stronger now,
The trusses all bend and sway.
The lightning hits,
The power goes out in the fray.
...
As the waves crash high,
And the shoreline disappears.
I will scream to the sky,
"Hey, people live here."
........
But my dreams are not unlike yours.
They long for the safety,
And break like a glass chandelier.
But there's laughter,
And, oh, there is love,
Just past the edge of our fears.
And there's chaos,
When push comes to shove,
But it's music to my ears.
..
May you be in heaven,
Before the devil knows you're dead.
And may these winds,
Be always at your back.
..
'Cause when we're all just ghosts,
And the madness overtakes us.
We will look at the ashes,
And say "People lived here~."
....
From the penthouse,
To the holy martyr,
Sea to shining sea.
From the coffins,
Full of kindergarteners,
Is this what you call free?
From the hate that drips,
From all your crosses,
Are your hands so clean?
There's a wildfire,
And it's spreading far,
From sea to shining sea~.

When we're all just ghosts,
And the madness overtakes us,
I will scream to the sky,
Yeah, I'll scream to the sky,
Yeah, I'll scream to the sky,
"Hey people live here."
.....
So, the message here might be confusing. The song's lyrics might be misinterpreted.
It's pointing out that people hate each other over what they believe in, how much money they have, how we look, and because of war. I will admit, I'm guilty of hating the rich and first class. Why can't they use their money to help others? However, I know not all of the wealthy are like this. It's pointing out that we are all the same. We all have hands, feet, brains, and everything inside of us. But, because of fear caused by violence, we condemn those who are different, and we make them violent. We need to make this world a better place, because we all live here. People Live Here. And about the question it asks, "Are your hands so clean?" I refers to anytime we, as individuals, have turned a blind eye to something we could stop. We can do amazing things, but people need to step up to make a difference. I'm not talking about politics, or anything like that. But if you see someone in need of help, get them help. I've seen people turn a blind eye to things they could do something about. I've done it. We've all done it. But, we can do something to stop tragedy, and perhaps one day, we can put an end to violence. Thank you for reading, everyone.
