Flobots

MAYDAY!!!!
Born in the flood
Bloody fingerpaint sets
Blackmarketed fresh
Water canons forget me not
Epitaph airbrush with death
White t's
Wife beaters
Button up
Reattach flesh
In between the lines
Outside of the law
Underneath the veil
We dig our foundations
We navigate the globe
Trying to find a pattern to break the mold
With a family to feed
Theres nowhere we wont go
But what if were caught
They say Im a snitch
Shot at the check point
Found with his throat slit
Theres spray paint on the teleprompter
Anchorman screams that hes seen a monster
Mayday
Theres bloodstains on his shirt
Mayday
They say that hes gone berserk
Sometimes
When I wanna shut out this world
Wanna rip up this page
Wanna pour out this heart
Wanna get up on this stage
And my lips become percussion
And my fists become the rage
And I pound on this table
Til it gives me something to say
Then I think about things that Ive seen
Right in front of me
That I dont wanna believe
Gimme one of these mikes
Lemme letem know
The way that it is is not how its gonna be
Not if we dont letem get ahead of us
The present tensions no threat
Its just a fence across the path
That were already ready to walk
Rock solid footsteps
Letem put up obstacles
And prove that it isnt possible
Fuck that
We dont giveem any weight
True liberty and freedoms at stake
Peace will never become pass
Live my life until my last day
It was half-past eight in the bat cave
When the cracks in the plaster collapsed
And gave way to gaps in the pavement
Mayday mayday
Put it on blast
For the passengers and messengers
Cause this is a disaster
Where the fuck are the rescue workers
Not far
Off pissing on a cop car
In the hall with a poptart
Sipping liquor in the rockbar
Everyone climb to the frontline
Lunchtimes cancelled
All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill
Onlookers passers-by shake off that rubble
