LYRICS:
watch as the human animal
takes his first breath and the world stands still
his mind and hands bend all to his will
bites feeding hand more than he can chew
we try to solve the world’s riddles
and to heal all it’s ills
will the Earth slough off her skin
and a blink all we will have been?
with his big book he prays for us
prayers disconnected and tether-less
will we try to save the world from us
or to just save ourselves?
is the Earth sloughing off her skin
and a blink all that we have been?
and we only clap with one hand
and bury our heads in the sand
looking out across this divided land
and we only clap with one hand
and bury our heads in the sand
staking out our claims on stolen land
tilled by enslaved hands
and built on enslaved backs
and we seem to forget and
so we repeat ourselves
this old world
spins much faster
than before
all our bluster
this old world
spins much faster
than before
when we were younger
upset the rhythm
disturb the balance
this world we leave them with
half of a chance
The songs on the latest from Absolutely Free feel as expansive as a cloudless sky, with ringing guitars and bright-eyed melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2021
