Shah Mot (The Shah Is Dead / Checkmate) |
My name is what’s your name |
I am the voice of sane |
Remembering things that I told me yesterday |
My name is what’s your name |
I am inside your frame |
We saw the devils, |
Had to make them go away |
My name is what’s your name |
You may reject my claim |
But I expect that you won’t vary from it long |
My name is what’s your name |
Ours is a single aim |
And we can double recognize in need of form (?) |
Take it to the street |
Tell everybody you meet |
You do whatever you do whenever you feel the war drum beat |
Put it in the air, |
Spit it everywhere |
You do whatever you do whenever you know you got to be there |
Shah mot! |
You only take it as a symbol |
Look closely, who does it resemble? |
My name is what’s your name |
If you recall the change |
Then you can dig that we’ve been put into a trance |
My name is what to do |
I am inside of you |
I’ve been here ever since the day you learned to stand |
My name is what’s your name |
Born on the wings of strain |
Ours is a justice that has long been overdue |
My name is what to do |
But we already knew |
And now the clouds of when and how come into view |
Shah mot! |
Take it to the street |
Tell everybody you meet |
You do whatever you do whenever you feel the war drum beat |
Shah mot! |
Put it in the air, |
Spit it everywhere |
You do whatever you do whenever you know you got to be there |
Shah mot! |
You only take it as a symbol |
Look closely, who does it resemble? |
My name is what’s your name |
I am the voice of sane |
Remembering things that I told me yesterday |
My name is what’s your name |
I am inside your frame |
We saw the devils, |
Had to make them go away |
Shah mot! |
Take it to the street |
Tell everybody you meet |
You do whatever you do whenever you feel the war drum beat |
Shah mot! |
Put it in the air, |
Spit it everywhere |
You do whatever you do whenever you know you got to be there |
Shah mot! |
You only take it as a symbol |
Look closely, who does it resemble? |
