Lyrics
(Ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ah)
(Ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ah)
Give me
Your bourgeoisie, she said,
Your woke, your rich, yearning to reap
This land is ours to keep
Until we rip- until we rip at the seams
O God I see, o God I see everything
Perpetuated lies transcend the party lines
Straight from the horse's mouth
Don't check the source, go join a chanting crowd!
Give me
Your poor, standing-
But only on their own two feet!
God send the crème de cream
So we can spill the milk on the street
I wanna say, I wanna say everything
But now is never the time until it's far too late, and so we wait
Til the ruin hits home and we pray
The seeds sprout from lemonade
And I know (Oh) know it, cause I see it
And I feel it like a bad bruise
And I know (No) no one wants to hear it, but
This righteousness gets so obtuse
Before all our futures slip
From the palm of our hands
We've got to know (Oh) and call it when we see it
In this land of we can't lose
(Oh, what can we do?)
We never wanted a slice
And we don't wanna lie (Don't wanna lie)
We're taking all the advice
Meant for half the time (Half the time)
Give me
The shining light upon the isle
Whose shelter for asylum gave
This new beacon brave
Is gilded gold, and greedy to boot
I wanna say, I wanna say everything
But now is never the time until it's far too late, and so we wait
Til the ruin hits home and we pray
The seeds sprout from lemonade
And I know (Oh) know it, cause I see it
And I feel it like a bad bruise
And I know (No) no one wants to hear it, but
This righteousness gets so obtuse
Before all our futures slip
From the palm of our hands
We've got to know (Oh) and call it when we see it
In this land of we can't lose
(Oh, what can we do?)
(Ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ah)
We never wanted a slice
And we don't wanna lie (Don't wanna lie)
(Ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ah)
We're taking all the advice
Meant for half the time (Half the time)
(Ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ah)
We never wanted a slice
And we don't wanna lie (Don't wanna lie)
(Ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ayiyi, ah ah)
We're taking all the advice
Meant for half the time (Half the time)
