Mayday (Album Version Edited) - Flobots[00:00:00]
Born in the flood bloody finger-paint sets[00:00:00]
Black marketed fresh water canons forget me not[00:00:03]
Epitaph airbrush with death[00:00:07]
White T's wife beaters button up reattach flesh[00:00:10]
In between the lines outside of the law[00:00:14]
Underneath the veil we dig our foundations[00:00:18]
We navigate the globe trying to find a pattern to break the mold[00:00:21]
With a family to feed theres nowhere we wont go[00:00:24]
But what if were caught [00:00:29]
They said Im a snitch[00:00:30]
Shot at the check point[00:00:32]
Found with his throat slit[00:00:34]
Theres spray paint on the teleprompter[00:00:35]
Anchorman screams that hes seen a monster[00:00:36]
Mayday theres bloodstains on his shirt[00:00:38]
Mayday they say that hes gone berserk[00:00:40]
Sometimes when I wanna shut out this world[00:00:46]
Wanna rip up this page[00:00:49]
Wanna pour out this heart[00:00:50]
Wanna get up on this stage[00:00:52]
And my lips become percussion[00:00:53]
And my fists become the rage[00:00:55]
And I pound on this table[00:00:56]
Till it gives me something to say[00:00:58]
Then I think about things[00:01:00]
That Ive seen right in front of me[00:01:01]
That I dont wanna believe[00:01:02]
Gimme one of these mikes[00:01:03]
Let me let em know the way that it is[00:01:04]
Is not how its gonna be[00:01:07]
Not if we dont let em get ahead of us[00:01:08]
The present tensions no threat[00:01:10]
Its just a fence across the path[00:01:12]
That we're already ready to walk[00:01:14]
Rock solid footsteps let em put up obstacles[00:01:15]
And prove that it isnt possible f**k that[00:01:17]
We dont give em any weight[00:01:20]
True liberty and freedoms at stake[00:01:22]
Peace will never become pass[00:01:23]
Live my life until my last day[00:01:24]
It was half-past eight in the bat cave[00:01:26]
When the cracks in the plaster collapsed[00:01:28]
And gave way to gaps in the pavement[00:01:30]
Mayday mayday[00:01:32]
Put it on blast[00:01:33]
For the passengers and messengers[00:01:34]
Cause this is a disaster[00:01:36]
Where the f**k are the rescue workers [00:01:37]
Not far off pissing on a cop car[00:01:40]
In the hall with a Pop-Tart[00:01:43]
Sipping liquor in the rock bar[00:01:44]
Everyone climb to the frontline lunchtimes canceled[00:01:46]
All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill[00:01:49]
Onlookers passers-by brush off your shoulders[00:01:52]
Shake off that rubble[00:01:56]
Break free from your standstill[00:01:57]
Signs of a better world causes we understand[00:02:00]
Failures we expected to occur[00:02:04]
And bring redemption for our sins[00:02:06]
Safety from the crowds in the shadows on the run[00:02:08]
We write our own Cider House Rules[00:02:11]
To keep alive rituals that prove their worth[00:02:13]
Search for systems we can trust[00:02:16]
Rhythms we can lock into[00:02:17]
This is madness salvage teams can't bandage[00:02:25]
Hope when its damaged or broken compassion[00:02:26]
Not enough rope in the van[00:02:28]
When world is collapsing our mode of action[00:02:29]
Broadcast through the glass all we can manage[00:02:31]
Donate with the plastic scraps from the salad[00:02:33]
Hoping to balance emotions invalidated[00:02:35]
And staged on 4:3 aspects[00:02:36]
Just ballast for sadness lives shattered[00:02:38]
Are standard fare for cameras and channels stare[00:02:40]
No abracadabras no faster answers or mantras for disasters[00:02:43]
Remastered or plastered we got it all backwards[00:02:47]
Do you know the faction you're backing [00:02:49]
Its another man down another mother gone[00:02:51]
Child drowned another silenced song[00:02:53]
Solitude another kind of strong[00:02:54]
I miss you another strung along[00:02:56]
Missing in action[00:02:58]
Another page is blackened burned[00:02:59]
Turned ashes to ashes[00:03:01]
Dust off the flags and the caskets[00:03:02]
We'll never find another you[00:03:04]
Despite the life of love we knew[00:03:06]
These lightning times are trouble[00:03:07]
Who cant count the strikes that punished through [00:03:09]
The bonds we thought would never break[00:03:11]
And never will and never change and never fade[00:03:13]
But theres the rage[00:03:15]
Of losing you to their mistakes[00:03:16]
In between the lines[00:03:18]
Refuge from the crow[00:03:19]
Causes we understand[00:03:21]
Hands that trace instructions[00:03:22]
For descendants in the shadows on the run[00:03:23]
Failures we expected to occur[00:03:26]
And bring redemption for our sins[00:03:29]
In between the lines[00:03:31]
In between the lines outside of the law[00:04:00]
Underneath the veil[00:04:03]
In between the lines outside of the law[00:04:07]
Underneath the veil[00:04:10]
In between the lines outside of the law[00:04:14]
Underneath the veil[00:04:17]
We carve our foundations[00:04:19]
In between the lines outside of the law[00:04:20]
In between the lines[00:04:24]
