[Verse 1]

These toys are all lifeless, the armor's worn off

The shadow of a shadow is the ghost of a bomb

Skyscraper standing in a desert alone

A helicopter searchlight is searching for no one

[Chorus]

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top

The smokestack clouds with glory attached

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top

The smokestack clouds with glory attached

[Verse 2]

The sky dancers dance in a parking lot wind

That blows from a tundra where the jungle begins

If there's hope in a roadblock, guns in a church

The lord will take his motorcade and drive us into the dirt

[Chorus]

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top

The smokestack clouds with glory attached

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top

The smokestack clouds with glory attached

[Bridge]

There's a skyscraper on the moon

And a man standing on a window

Forty-second floor

There's a light beaming through the galaxy

Telling me everything's gonna be okay

[Outro]

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh

We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
