j lind - for what it's worth lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
turn it up
this is my favorite part
watch how the tiger catches the deer in the dark
its t++th were sharpened by the darwinian arc
of a million years

[chorus 1]
and hyenas laugh from their secret hiding place
as the tiger’s t++th find a purpose in its prey
and the helpless deer sings the song of life on earth
but it’s still grateful to the band—for what it’s worth

[verse 2]
light it up
the jungle set aflame
once a month, we keep it thin to keep it tame
cleaning up after our ancestors’ mistakes
for a hundred years

[chorus 2]
and the huntеr sets his sights and takes his aim
as the tigеr flees from the fire man has made
and a shot rings out as the great cat hits the earth
but it’d still praise the blood+stained land—for what it’s worth
[verse 3]
look it up
or look across the street
flies on their faces and nothing on their feet
these little ones will be lucky if they breathe
for a couple years

[chorus 3]
and the women laugh from their cages in bombay
as the children clap from calcutta+bound freight trains
and their song is lost to the chaos of the earth
but they still lift up holy hands—for what it’s worth

[chorus 4]
and the people sing for the day their gods have made
as the bishop bows in a foreign land to pray:
“let the lord rain down his judgment on the earth
but i still love the heart of man—for what it’s worth”
