Flobots - Sides Lyrics
Hey, yeah, heyThis is more than an ideaSinging oh-oh-oh-oh-ohShow me all of who you areSinging oh-oh-oh-oh-ohA voice from the wilderness destroy the Port-au-PrinceBuilding a lunar from the basic ingredientsImmediate response in reaction to the chemicalsScreening potassium, that tracks into the tennis shoesGood academics trapped in academiesWho don’t produce movement, or produce strategiesMove into the datastream, picture this, we had a feelBuild a resistance to opiates and imbecilesI hate to take a side, I gotta take a sideWell it’s time to take a side, stand up for what is rightOr should I say left, cause that’s usually where I find myselfAligned for the future that we’re trying forSpoken on my signboard, look across the lineYou’re tired, you’re scared, you’re working overtimeMore fatigue, price Lord, another giant’s bornMidwife got the … crying forOh-oh-oh-oh-ohSinging Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh-ohHow the west was,How the west isShow ‘em how the west isOne for my dreamsTwo for my doubts,Three for the people that have been left outFour for the love that can save usFive for the names on the graves, Troy DavisSix for the painSeven for the ṗatienceEight for the strains of the tough conversationsNine for the kids in the front lawn racing toTen the joy that can never be takenFor all the life that was taken,The times I’ve mistaken, the sides that I’ve takenAnd the life that I’m makingThe mystic frustrations, the top of that patienceFollows while bottles play faithWith a flash-cold harpoon-like toolIt still didn’t show-upWhen justice hit the streets the definition didn’t hold-upAbove the other … itThe reason why we’re fightingWith the meeting of …I can’t tell you where to goSinging Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohYou are never on your ownSinging Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohYou’ll live on when we are goneWe’ll be everywhere and gone
