Phoenix Gene the day they left town

Well the day they left town was the day we awoke
Hearts in our hands and no tears left to choke
Even Rodney brown was amazed at the shape things took
We better start a thinking, we gotta write this whole damn book
Some prayed hard for shelter, some brave ones dared to look
The rest braced for fall out on where their loyalties stood
Official requirements uncovered everything it could
You better start a listening, you gotta keep this whole damn book
Who knows when it started and when the signs arose
The only thing that mattered is how it gained the most
Freedom that we found made it easy for the lives we took
You better start a running, they're gonna need this whole damn book
