1000 Years War

When the rains came

the streets filled up like rivers

and we floated down um like they were our own

our toxic lungs, oblivious to the sun

we were only, inspired by babies

some nights it was hard, so hard to breathe

in spite of it all, we woke up every morning

In spite of it all, in spite of it all, we woke up everyday

walkin around, so happy and gay

there there on the hill, a man came bearing tidings

with a gun, and a grim look on his face

He said, "I, I crossed the river

I heard what they had to say,

and there's no telling when we'll see the end"

I looked at him blankly, I said "I don't understand my friend."

He said, "Thousands of years and we're only a few days in.

thousands of years, thousands of years and we're only a few days in

in spite of it all, I wake up every morning

In spite of it all, in spite of it all," he said, " I wake up everyday

I wake up cause there's no other way."

I thought it was hard, seeing the man with the earnest face

but there on the hill, someone's carrying water

A little boy with a limp, a mother who's been grieving ever since

Grieving ever since, grieving ever since,

GRIEVING, EVER SINCE SHE CAN REMEMBER!

in spite of it all, in spite of it all they wake up every morning

in spite of it all, they wake up everyday

so many flags in the sand, blue and white, greens yellows and reds

don't forget that old red white and blue

what are you fighting for, fighting for a promised land

wandering around in the desert sands

when will it ever end? when will it ever end?

more and more people, never, ever more land.

in spite of it all. in spite of it all you keep on shooting your guns, dropping your bombs,

KILLING ANYONE!

in spite of it all… in spite of it all

you wake up every morning

in spite of it all, you wake up everyday
