Mayday!!! (Album Version|Edited) - Flobots |
| [00:00.67] |
Born in the flood bloody finger-paint sets |
| [00:03.89] |
Black marketed fresh water canons forget me not |
| [00:07.64] |
Epitaph airbrush with death |
| [00:10.30] |
White T's wife beaters button up reattach flesh |
| [00:14.90] |
In between the lines outside of the law |
| [00:18.25] |
Underneath the veil we dig our foundations |
| [00:21.25] |
We navigate the globe trying to find a pattern to break the mold |
| [00:24.78] |
With a family to feed theres nowhere we won't go |
| [00:29.19] |
But what if were caught |
| [00:30.89] |
They said I'm a snitch |
| [00:32.56] |
Shot at the check point |
| [00:34.11] |
Found with his throat slit |
| [00:35.80] |
Theres spray paint on the teleprompter |
| [00:36.72] |
Anchorman screams that hes seen a monster |
| [00:38.88] |
Mayday theres bloodstains on his shirt |
| [00:40.88] |
Mayday they say that hes gone berserk |
| [00:46.26] |
Sometimes when I wanna shut out this world |
| [00:49.02] |
Wanna rip up this page |
| [00:50.39] |
Wanna pour out this heart |
| [00:52.03] |
Wanna get up on this stage |
| [00:53.67] |
And my lips become percussion |
| [00:55.12] |
And my fists become the rage |
| [00:56.88] |
And I pound on this table |
| [00:58.46] |
Till it gives me something to say |
| [01:00.27] |
Then I think about things |
| [01:01.10] |
That I've seen right in front of me |
| [01:02.80] |
That I don't wanna believe |
| [01:03.50] |
Gimme one of these mikes |
| [01:04.95] |
Let me let em know the way that it is |
| [01:07.26] |
Is not how its gonna be |
| [01:08.65] |
Not if we don't let em get ahead of us |
| [01:10.71] |
The present tensions no threat |
| [01:12.13] |
Its just a fence across the path |
| [01:14.14] |
That we're already ready to walk |
| [01:15.76] |
Rock solid footsteps let em put up obstacles |
| [01:17.96] |
And prove that it isnt possible f**k that |
| [01:20.74] |
We don't give em any weight |
| [01:22.36] |
True liberty and freedoms at stake |
| [01:23.44] |
Peace will never become pass |
| [01:24.90] |
Live my life until my last day |
| [01:26.60] |
It was half-past eight in the bat cave |
| [01:28.91] |
When the cracks in the plaster collapsed |
| [01:30.48] |
And gave way to gaps in the pavement |
| [01:32.52] |
Mayday mayday |
| [01:33.65] |
Put it on blast |
| [01:34.65] |
For the passengers and messengers |
| [01:36.40] |
Cause this is a disaster |
| [01:37.88] |
Where the f**k are the rescue workers |
| [01:40.01] |
Not far off pissing on a cop car |
| [01:43.02] |
In the hall with a Pop-Tart |
| [01:44.50] |
Sipping liquor in the rock bar |
| [01:46.65] |
Everyone climb to the frontline lunchtimes canceled |
| [01:49.36] |
All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill |
| [01:52.77] |
Onlookers passers-by brush off your shoulders |
| [01:56.20] |
Shake off that rubble |
| [01:57.78] |
Break free from your standstill |
| [02:00.72] |
Signs of a better world causes we understand |
| [02:04.01] |
Failures we expected to occur |
| [02:06.52] |
And bring redemption for our sins |
| [02:08.37] |
Safety from the crowds in the shadows on the run |
| [02:11.96] |
We write our own Cider House Rules |
| [02:13.54] |
To keep alive rituals that prove their worth |
| [02:16.12] |
Search for systems we can trust |
| [02:17.92] |
Rhythms we can lock into |
| [02:25.28] |
This is madness salvage teams can't bandage |
| [02:26.78] |
Hope when its damaged or broken compassion |
| [02:28.32] |
Not enough rope in the van |
| [02:29.44] |
When world is collapsing our mode of action |
| [02:31.20] |
Broadcast through the glass all we can manage |
| [02:33.68] |
Donate with the plastic scraps from the salad |
| [02:35.53] |
Hoping to balance emotions invalidated |
| [02:36.94] |
And staged on 4:3 aspects |
| [02:38.63] |
Just ballast for sadness lives shattered |
| [02:40.82] |
Are standard fare for cameras and channels stare |
| [02:43.73] |
No abracadabras no faster answers or mantras for disasters |
| [02:47.34] |
Remastered or plastered we got it all backwards |
| [02:49.95] |
Do you know the faction you're backing |
| [02:51.95] |
Its another man down another mother gone |
| [02:53.65] |
Child drowned another silenced song |
| [02:54.89] |
Solitude another kind of strong |
| [02:56.52] |
I miss you another strung along |
| [02:58.62] |
Missing in action |
| [02:59.60] |
Another page is blackened burned |
| [03:01.37] |
Turned ashes to ashes |
| [03:02.99] |
Dust off the flags and the caskets |
| [03:04.77] |
We'll never find another you |
| [03:06.35] |
Despite the life of love we knew |
| [03:07.97] |
These lightning times are trouble |
| [03:09.64] |
Who can't count the strikes that punished through |
| [03:11.35] |
The bonds we thought would never break |
| [03:13.07] |
And never will and never change and never fade |
| [03:15.47] |
But theres the rage |
| [03:16.50] |
Of losing you to their mistakes |
| [03:18.34] |
In between the lines |
| [03:19.77] |
Refuge from the crow |
| [03:21.31] |
Causes we understand |
| [03:22.98] |
Hands that trace instructions |
| [03:23.69] |
For descendants in the shadows on the run |
| [03:26.61] |
Failures we expected to occur |
| [03:29.31] |
And bring redemption for our sins |
| [03:31.42] |
In between the lines |
| [04:00.19] |
In between the lines outside of the law |
| [04:03.40] |
Underneath the veil |
| [04:07.12] |
In between the lines outside of the law |
| [04:10.53] |
Underneath the veil |
| [04:14.17] |
In between the lines outside of the law |
| [04:17.21] |
Underneath the veil |
| [04:19.19] |
We carve our foundations |
| [04:20.95] |
In between the lines outside of the law |
| [04:24.11] |
In between the lines |
