lyrics

They say the only way to make a change
Better be on time, stand in line with a thousand other people
And it’s a crime for you to opt out
Better be on time and know exactly which hole to fill
You better learn how to participate
We got a place for those that don’t support the state
And they can trade you a number and a cell for your name and your face
And so anonymously she returns to the people debt paid
With her past engraved on the public record

Let me protect you, I’ll take you to the sky
In the city on stilts where our dynasty can thrive
You and me can be the exalted family on high
You and me together, we’ll watch the world die

She take a seat on the concrete slab
On of the very few left, not designed to stab
As she drag on a half smoked cigarette as slow as she can
Hide the store brand mouthwash down behind her cardboard sign
He drop a nickel as he walk by
He’s just a visitor here from an office so high downtown
As walk to his home to in clouds
And everyday as pass through the struggle he’s befuddled
By the not so subtle thought of her face being erased by the flood

Let me protect you, I’ll take you to the sky
In the city on stilts where our dynasty can thrive
You and me can be the exalted family on high
You and me together, we’ll watch the world die

As the waters rise, he reach out his hand
She say put that back, I won’t be fooled again
He say I can give you a long and healthy life
She say no thanks, I’d rather be free to fight

Let me protect you, I’ll take you to the sky
In the city on stilts where our dynasty can thrive
You and me can be the exalted family on high
You and me together, we’ll watch the world die
