lyrics

there’s a riot going on
against people like me
they say all we want is
all we want is to be free
I don’t even know what that means
it doesn’t make any sense to me

they come dressed in hurricane suits
looking for a throat
wielding pitchforks and bowie knives
and the famous carpenter’s words
giving away their halos
quickly buying ashes and dirt

tired like a bear
who forgot to hibernate
my skin is holey and grey
and my eyes are red
saying no has never been harder

money dissolves and throbs
for attention like a child
locks are breaking free
and cobble stones are running wild
let’s run for the forest
and dig some holes into the night

tell me we will escape one more time
