the magic lantern - fault line lyrics

there’s a fault line running right down the middle, running right down the middle
and it divides and splits us from each other, us from each other
there’s an old song woody guthrie sang
this land is your land and this land is my land, too
though it sounds so simple, that day you’d’a say it’s not true, babe
what if it’s true, babe?

there’s an inquiry line living right in here, living deep in here
and it takes what it needs and leaves you gasping, leaves you hollowed out
there’s an old trick that will break your heart
tilting at windmills believing they’re swinging at you
’til you’re trappеd in the flag that you’re wrapped in too tight to undo, babе
your lips are blue, babe
does it trickle down or simmer down?
does it trickle down now?
beware the profit in the paper crown
does the head swim but the heart drown?

at the shoreline there are dreams and bodies breaking, dreams and bodies breaking
and they say not a word
for who would listen and who would hear them out?
these are old bones and they know their worth
ringing with truth of the struggle and pain of their birth
now all of the promise they carries returns to the earth, babe
the bleached ash of babe

does it trickle down or simmer down?
does it trickle down now?
beware the profit in the paper crown
does the head swim but the heart drown?
does it trickle down or simmer down?
does it trickle down now?
beware the profit in the paper crown
does the head swim but the heart drown?

mighty river, roll on, roll on
and mighty river will hold on, will hold on
