New Cannonball Blues |
| Hey girls, hey boys no don’t mind the noise |
| It’s just the sound of being dragged ahead |
| It’s just a pornographic annulationship |
| As we watch the spider’s web eat itself |
| All this death above extinguishing |
| All that you’ve ever known |
| Turn your touch screens off and start harvesting |
| The seeds that your parents sew |
| It’s got me singing blues that hit you like a cannonball |
| Loud enough to break your bones |
| But it was written in blood before they wrote it in stone |
| So, sing it with me like it’s your own |
| You’re gettin’bothered staying low like under four hundred blows |
| Makes you feel like you are all by yourself |
| So when the chance comes along like where you could help right a wrong |
| The bullshit’s got you stuck up on the shelf |
| «But it’s heavy» |
| «I'm not ready» |
| Do you feel like you’re swimming in the notes? |
| But baby, follow the sound |
| That’s shooting out of your crown |
| There’s only one way up from the floor |
| It’s got me fucked up and dried up and fed up can’t get up And bleeding and crying like I’m mad at the soul |
| «I'm a carbon copy |
| Now they got me» |
| Up oh look at where we’re going |
| It’s got you strung out and bothered and caught up And drowning and feeling and shot up And feeling you gotta run |
| You’re a carbon copy |
| Now they got me Up oh look at where we’re going |
| Now gonna kick toe |
| Gonna run right forward |
| Lord not the first time we’ve imposed a locked door |
| Oh critter fight back it’s your sole reward |
| Below with your fist up Brush the dust off |
| Boy, it’s got got it’s got me singing |
| Blues that hit you like a cannonball |
| Loud enough to break your bones |
| But it was written in blood before they wrote it in stone |
| So sing it with me like it’s your own |
| Those blues they hit you like a cannonball |
| Loud enough to break your bones |
| But wish the rising in love before we’re taking the throne |
| So sing it with me like it’s your own |
| You better dust off and get up, get ready to push up Hey baby get ready 'cause yea yea it’s gonna come |
| If we want to see what’s possible for a, a better way right now |
| You better dust off and get up, get ready to push up Hey baby get ready 'cause yea yea it’s gonna come |
| When the truth is spoken |
| Love’s unbroken |
| Nothing’s gonna weigh us down |
