against me! - y'all don't wanna step to dis lyrics
“y’all don’t wanna step to dis”
[verse 1:]
four sins past sainthood
it’s like i’m dying to forget
all the sleepless nights
lying perfectly alone and still
i can drink ’till victory
i’ll drink to the mighty
drink until i die
or at least until the sunrise
when honesty
as popular as a plague
comes to remind me
the dead’s winning the race
with me going nowhere
right down the street
a prost-tute is selling
the closest thing to love
that this country has to offer
[chorus:]
and alachua still sleeps tonight
and alachua still sleeps tonight
and alachua still sleeps tonight…
[verse 2:]
so we fought for the republic
while the catholic sun filled every eye
from the atlantic to the pacific ocean
we drank to the mighty
we died for oil
we died for borders
k!lled for democracy
still believed every platform
can you handle the death
accept what we create together?
i still know every politician
is a f-cking monster
culture k!lls bureaucrats
and all other undesireables
history said we died for freedom
but today no justice was served
[chorus:]
and america still sleeps tonight
and america still sleeps tonight
and america still sleeps tonight
and i hope it doesn’t wake up tomorrow
[verse 3:]
so we boasted that we were champions
each country singing it’s own praise
like a rock thrown into the ocean
humanity was rising to the top
two world wars later
countless “military interventions”
we erect monuments to history
and give apologies to the dead
all that was fought for the living
is quickly forgotten
we don’t remember the dates
we don’t remember the reasons
we have no idea what’s going on
building histories of western corporations
it doesn’t even turn my stomach
to see the pictures of atrocities anymore
going numb in the new order
of the new century
[chorus:]
and alachua still sleeps tonight
and america still sleeps tonight
and the world still sleeps tonight…
[outro:]
and alachua still sleeps tonight…
and america still sleeps tonight…
and the world still sleeps tonight…
