lyrics

Should I make an apology?
When I didn’t do it, they did!
Some other century
The wars are over
The land has all been carved
A glorious painting
No, it’s definitely not a fake

Should I write up a history?
Give me your scribble, maybe
Make you a VIP
Shame about the language
There’s always a casualty
I got my sweet potato
But she ain’t home so let’s get down to it

Not gonna stop doing what I love
When everything I say and touch
It turns to sold
I’m keeping the books, babe
And the books be keeping you
Every man for himself, mate
Oh it’s a beautiful view when you’re at the top

Every inch of pain is ours
But that’s how it works
It’s how we get our energy
We have these bones to light the way
If you wanna believe in it baby
Though I always knew that I’d do this
Is it something that we gotta go through
Solo?

Should I make up a policy?
We’re all holding hands, running
Through the garish green
To every questionGotta answer “We’re all one!”
It’s a mantra we’ll use
Throughout our whole lives

So should I lay this feather before me?
Or should I wipe off this brown face
With the genes of a dairy kingdom?
We got ice cream on a leash
See the mono-hobbits
Drowning slowly in the melting pot

Oh they can build their Empire
Yeah time will tear it down

And it might be the hardest thing that we ever do
