tall travis - bombs to bonfires lyrics

has the paper been making you sad?
all your worries come from the page?
perhaps it won’t seem quite so bad
if you’re proud of this mess that we’ve made!
wait for the fire on the fourth of july
to burn all your worries away!
glorious stars in the sky
most of them purely man made

ten thousand miles away
over the sea and under the clouds
or right back home on your doorstep
does it matter at all?
one is the right hand and one is the left
one’s twice the size but they’re both raining death!
did the stock market crash today?
or did it fly straight into the sun?
the numbers could go either way
seems like raytheon already has won!
icarus burned off his wings
will the same fate befall all these f+cks?
or will executives live on like kings
making money like they ain’t got enough

ten thousand miles away
over the sea and under the clouds
or right back home on your doorstep
does it matter at all?
one is the right hand and one is the left
pay no mind to some and burn all the rest!

they’ve got banners and posters, they’ll pay for your college
it seems like a fair trade but please just be honest
would you sell your soul in a faustian deal?
to k!ll for an oil rig, to search for what’s real?
is it really the best way to see for yourself?
to die in a desert, tryna’ k!ll someone else?
(‘cause) where is the courage in hiding the facts?
in murdering children, and shooting at backs?
(well) people k!ll people k!ll people who die
and people fight people who think to ask why
from hoffman to xr to the tenth of july
to ploughshares, they all f+ckin(g) thought to try
(‘cause/well) one is the right hand, one is the left
(and) they’re doing their jobs, ‘cause that’s what they do best
(and/but) you’ve got no stake in this desolate war
so really you can’t ask for anything more
but i swear, we’ll be singing ‘til our voices give
out, we’ll be shouting ‘til our lungs cave
in, and all our hearts catch fire and
fall and burn this city to the
ground, batons will be sentenced to
bonfires, and bars will all go to the
forge, we don’t know how to fight but we’ll
try until we finally reach something more!
