Lyrics
Today
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've fallen down, Joan of Arc ailing
Systems are failing the mission
I've been taken down, wind from my sails
By tempers that flared and were vicious
I'm going down down down
I'm going down down down
Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today
Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today
Smile upside down, rupture is rising
Families are scrambling for custody
Faithlessly drowned
The chase of this dollar is tilting my altar t'ward apathy
We're going down down down
We're going down lest we move to new ground
Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today
Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today
Warm'd by this fire born from a flicker
My heart moves slower than technology
This dampened desire is rolling its sleeves up
Replaced by a vigor and empathy
I'm reaching higher and higher and higher
I'm moving up and up and up
As we bandy round solution
Celebrate our evolution
That antidotes our stations
Today
And as we activate our nation
As we're joined by our companions
We ignite our generation
Today
