Don't look now
You're on TV
Today they want you to tell the world
What yesterday you said to me
I got to tell you that it didn't look good
Your boots stomping all over our hood
It's time to let it go
Now's fucked up but it's our (our) our tomorrow
Yes it’s our (our) our tomorrow (our tomorrow)
Yes it’s our (our) our tomorrow
Our, our tomorrow
Let me tell you 'bout mine
Johnny didn't love me
And my mommy don't call me
My brother murdered by another
Watching my sister on a TV
On a mystery ‘cause we cannot find her
I’m looking in the mirror tryna discover who I be
And now I’m telling you it don't look good
I’m tryna put on my boot it don’t fit
Tryna go out the door to explore
Now I’m stuck
‘cause they tell me cannot leave
‘cause it’s our (our) our tomorrow (our tomorrow)
Yes it’s our (our) our tomorrow
‘cause it’s our (our) our tomorrow (holdin’ on, holdin’ on)
Yes it’s our, our tomorrow
It's our (our) our tomorrow (it’s our tomorrow)
Yes it’s our (our) our tomorrow
Yes it’s our (our) our tomorrow
Yes it’s our (our) our tomorrow
What you doing tomorrow? God damn.

Before the Rain Fell

Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
It was a hard sell (ooh ooh ooh)
A little betrayal in the afternoon (ooh ooh ooh)
You wanted heartfelt (ooh ooh ooh)
Well it might just be a little too soon (ooh ooh ooh)
You say you love her (ooh ooh ooh)
They sound like words you've said before (ooh ooh ooh)
Now run for cover (ooh ooh ooh)
Hear the thunder pound, yeah, it's about to pour (ooh ooh ooh)
Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
You say you want more (ooh ooh ooh)
You swear you heard footsteps in the dark (ooh ooh ooh)
Up on the top floor (ooh ooh ooh)
Near the commissary hall close to the mark (ooh ooh ooh)
She doesn't need you (ooh ooh ooh)
Maybe that's the way you like your paper torn (ooh ooh ooh)
For sure it seemed true (ooh ooh ooh)
Listen to the wind howl here comes the storm (ooh ooh ooh)
Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
Before the rain fell
The truth is hard to hear
(Hard to hear)
Truth is hard to tell
(Hard to tell)
Sounded crystal clear
(oh crystal clear)
oh before
(oh before)
Before the rain fell (before)
Before the rain fell (oh before)
Before the rain fell (oh before the rain fell)
Before the rain fell (the rain’s coming down now)

Don't Care
03:34
|
|||
|
I'm not gonna dumb it down
I don't fear that fall from grace
I want the fools to remember me
As wiping the grin right off their face
I'm not gonna tear it all down
I don't revel in that destruction
I want the dipshits to know
They stand in the mess of their own creation
Don't call on me (don't you dare)
Don't call on me (don't you dare)
Don't call on me
'Cause I don't care
You can take me at my word
They're yours to keep
Once they leave my lips
You can read between the lines
But I already spelled it out
With a flick of my wrist
Don't call on me (don't you dare)
Don't call on me (don't you dare)
Don't call on me
'Cause I don't care
Don't call on me (don't you dare)
Don't call on me (don't you dare)
Don't call on me
'Cause I don't care

I bet there's some way you feel
I bet there's something on your mind
I bet there's something unsaid
Something painful all the time
I bet you want to hear the words
I bet they'll soothe your heart
I bet they'll bring us close
Or they'll tear us apart
I bet there's some way you feel
I bet there's something on your mind
I bet there's something unsaid
Something painful all the time
I bet you want to hear the words
I bet they'll soothe your heart
I bet they'll bring us close
Or they'll tear us apart
You are gonna have to wait 'til later
Because I am the delineator
I bet there's some way you feel
I bet there's something on your mind
I bet there's something unsaid
Something painful all the time
I bet you want to hear the words
I bet they'll soothe your heart
I bet they'll bring us close
Or they'll tear us apart
I bet there's some way you feel
I bet there's something on your mind
I bet there's something unsaid
Something painful all the time
I bet you want to hear the words
I bet they'll soothe your heart
I bet they'll bring us close
Or they'll tear us apart
You are gonna have to wait 'til later
Because I am the delineator
I bet there's some way you feel
I bet there's something on your mind
I bet there's something unsaid
Something painful all the time
I bet you want to hear the words
I bet they'll soothe your heart
I bet they'll bring us close
Or they'll tear us apart
I bet there's some way you feel
I bet there's something on your mind
I bet there's something unsaid
Something painful all the time

Lies
03:35
|
|||
|
There's a panther in my heart
A feather in my pen
Sometimes the truth sneaks out
Now and then
Oh the rest of the time
The rest of the time
Oh the rest of the time
It's all lies
Blades when you speak
Boulders when you roll
At times you string together
Something whole
Oh the rest of the time it’s lies
Oh the rest of the time it’s all lies
Oh the rest of the time
Lies
The rest of the time
Lies, lies, lies

Touch
02:38
|

|
I got you flowing through my veins
I got you down in the soles of my feet
I can smell you in my hair
I can see you hustlin' every corner of every street
I feel you at my home
I feel you way out there
You take me places even when we ain't going nowhere
I said “ooh” you give me a rush
It feels so good
I want to feel your touch
I got you running through my mind
I got you all up in my dreams
I can hear you in the wind
I can feel you coursing through my bloodstream
When I want to sing the Blues
All that comes out is blood-red
You understand my every single word
Even those unsaid
I say “ooh” everybody knows you got a hold on me
Baby, open the blinds and let the whole world see
I say “ooh” everybody knows that I'm hooked on you
Baby come here
You make me feel brand new
I said “ooh”
Sometimes it all works out
Sometimes it feels so good
It makes me want to shout

Rejects
03:35
|
|||
|
A pile of disappointment in the sidecar
Friends and foes alike we're all on par
Now let's not pretend that this ain't war
Pin it on your chest, the honour's all yours
Walking half your life across the killing floors
No more lying to ourselves: this is war
We, rejects, gotta stick together
We, rejects, keep it all together
We, rejects, gotta stick together
We, rejects, keep it all together
Keep it all together
Gotta stick together
Every battle fought is a hard one
Every drop of blood, like a setting sun
Well now let's pretend the war is over
We, rejects, gotta stick together
We, rejects, keep it all together
We, rejects, gotta stick together
We, rejects, keep it all together
Keep it all together
Gotta stick together

Lean
02:56
|
|||
|
There's a rifle in the grass
And salt in the sea
A leaf hanging on a statue
And a wound at the knee
There ain't nowhere to look
That hasn't been seen
No matter how straight you stand
You gotta lean
There's a bullet in the sand
And sugar cane in the field
When you got nothing left
You gotta steal
There's a tear in our hearts
And someone's taking names
One by one we all lose in this game
You don't realize shit
If you haven't thought of this
No matter how straight you shoot
Sometimes you're gonna miss
Mosques scatter cross the east
Churches litter the west
Money moves all ye faithful
And the faithful will slaughter the rest
You don't realize shit
If you haven't thought of this
No matter how straight you shoot
Sometimes you're gonna miss
There ain't nowhere to look
That hasn't been seen
No matter how straight you stand
You gotta lean

Time
03:42
|
|||
|
Time, it's a wicked design
Always running up and counting down
Turning a king into a clown
Why is it so unkind?
Doing us in, clocking out
Never letting us know
What it's all about
I know it's all we got
Never moving left, never shifting right
Just moving ahead with an iron might
You can like it or not
It may feel slow, it may feel fast
Reminding you
Nothing’s ever gonna last
Time, it's a wicked design
Time is no one's friend
Waves of joy, waves of pain
Rising up in the pouring rain
The tide gets you in the end
Once it's done, something new begins
Every saint forgotten along with their sins
Time, it's a wicked design

Within the Rubble
04:36
|
|||
|
He said “Don't you doubt,
Baby, don't you doubt my abilities”
Rolling by like a thundering shout
I can hear you calling me
He gave one note, one touch
And it was trouble
He said you either dig your way out
Or die deep within the rubble
You need to holler
You need to sing it twice
While the rest of us dream
Of whispers and vice
You need to talk
To tell it double
While the rest of us sleep
Deep within the rubble

Watch Me
02:45
|
|||
|
Give me all your books
Yeah, I'll read them all
Show me how you built your temples
I don't want to see them fall
But if you're asking me to follow
Believe in what your forefathers say
That my life is missing something
That I'm wandering astray
Watch me, watch me
Watch me walk away
I've seen your best intentions
They're no good at all
It's either prophets or it's profits
And I should hear their call
But if you're telling me, it's human nature
Or that someone has got to pay
That the one is speaking through you
That I should listen, I should stay
Watch me, watch me
Watch me walk away
And you can't believe
That I believe your god
Less than I believe you
If you’re thinking I'm misguided
If you feel I should obey
That I'm just being hardheaded
And that you'll soften me today
Watch me, watch me
Watch me walk away

Innocence
05:55
|
|||
|
The people wept
When you went away
But then it got a little better
From day to day
You were on the grind
You hustled all the time
The maneuvering you did
Was subversively sublime
The people believed
In who you were
But now your face on those murals
Looks a little blurred
You had them in your hand
But then you let go
Why you let them down
I will never know
Why you let them down
I will never know
Hold on to what you got
Hold on to what you got
She got the midnight blues
All morning too
One man's weakness
Turns him into a fool
The boy has left the man
Where innocence once stood
Cruelty now stands
Where innocence once stood
Cruelty now stands
Hold on to what you got
Hold on to what you got
