Long Road to Ruin by Foo Fighters, Music Video and Lyrics

«Long Road to Ruin» is the second single from the Foo Fighters' sixth studio album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace , following the band's most played song in history, «The Pretender.» The music video was released on November 1, with the single released on December 3. The video features an appearance by actress Rashida Jones, and was directed by Jesse Peretz.

The music video of the song is a comedic spoof of a stereotypical 1970s-era hospital soap opera (General Hospital in particular), and is essentially a «show within a show.» As seen in the opening credit sequence, the Foo Fighters portray the actors who in turn portray the show's characters. Grohl plays «Davy Grohlton,» who stars as the main doctor, «Hansom Davidoff.» Drummer Taylor Hawkins plays «Ty Hawkstone» («Les Groper,» Davidoff's womanizing colleague). Guitarist Chris Shiflett plays «Christopher Mishomotohama» («Little Jimmy,» a severely injured child). Bassist Nate Mendel plays «Ned Bender» («Saul Goode,» the show's shady antagonist). Actress Rashida Jones guest stars as «Racinda Jules» («Susan Belfontaine,» the doctor's love interest).

Long Road to Ruin Lyrics By Foo Fighters

Here now don't make a sound
Say have you heard the news today?
One flag was taken down
To raise another in its place
A heavy cross you bear
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love
No stranger singing in your nameMaybe the season
The colours change in the valley skies
Dear God I've sealed my fate
Running through hell, heaven can waitLong road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sightLet's say we take this town
No king or queen of any state
Get up to shut it down
Open the streets and raise the gates
I know one wall to scale
I know a field without a name
Head on without a care
Before it's way too late

Maybe the season
The colours change in the valley skies
Dear God I've sealed my fate
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

For every piece to fall in place
Forever gone without a trace
Your horizon takes its shape
No turning back, don't turn that page

Come now, I'm leaving here tonight
Come now, let's leave it all behind
Is that the price you pay?
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight
