R.E.M. live @ Rock Werter 2008 (Deutschland) From Accelerate (2008) R.E.M.: Peter Buck: Guitar Mike Mills: Keyboards Michael Stipe: Vocals Scott McCaughey: Bass Guitar Bill Rieflin: Drums Lyrics: If the storm doesn't kill me the government will I've gotta get that out of my head It's a new day today and the coffee is strong I've finally got some rest So a man's put to task and challenges I was taught to hold my head high Collect what is mine Make the best of what today has Houston is filled with promise Laredo is a beautiful place And Galveston sings like that song that I loved Its meaning has not been erased And so there are claims forgiven And so there are things that are gone Houston is filled with promise Laredo is a beautiful place And Galveston sings like that song that I loved Its meaning has not been erased And some things, they fall to the wayside Their memory is yet to be still Belief has not filled me And so I am put to the test
