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)
