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.
Fake lightning flahes over the skyline
A deer in your headlights
So gun it
We're singing songs about 21st century living
If hate's in your heart man
You'll take what you're given
While we were hunting rabbits
Buy in it'll shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up
We've brought someone in to shut you up
It's a life's work
While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky its stars like fortune drilled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared
And I dance and I sing
And I'm a monkey in a long line
Buy in it should shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up
They've brought someone in to shut you up
And it's getting to be light work
While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky its stars like fortune drilled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared
And I dance and I sing
And I'm a monkey in a long line of kings
And we dance and we sing
And we're all monkeys in a long line
I'm just a boat on the ocean
And I'm just a ship lost at sea
