Marigold

When times are difficult (when times are difficult)
We're gonna need a miracle (we're gonna need a miracle)
When things are critical (when things are critical)
We're gonna need a miracle (we're gonna need a miracle)
The world's in trouble (the world's in trouble)
Cover it in marigolds (cover it in marigolds)
Cities in rubble (cities in rubble)
We all need a miracle (we all need a miracle)
Stereo, miracle
Keep it gold, oracle
Dropping heat, staying cold
Digital, mystical
I'm a radical, not typical
Get a grip and lеt it go
Revolution ain't political
It's more spiritual
It's big like biblical
Writе it down in a history book
You should take a picture, bro
They don't teach you this in school
Vehicle electric on land or nautical
I show up when the duty calls
Everything is beautiful
When times are difficult (when times are difficult)
We're gonna need a miracle (we're gonna need a miracle)
When things are critical (when things are critical)
We're gonna need a miracle (we're gonna need a miracle)
The world's in trouble (the world's in trouble)
Cover it in marigolds (cover it in marigolds)
Cities in rubble (cities in rubble)
We all need a miracle (we all need a miracle)
Protocol, prodigal
Every periodical
We need something practical
A real fucking miracle
Planetary particle
A real authentic article
Be so cold, make the arctic cold
All for one and love for all
It's big like biblical
Write it down in a history book
You should take a picture, bro
They don't teach you this in school
Vehicle electric on land or nautical
I show up when the duty calls
Everything is beautiful
When times are difficult (when times are difficult)
We're gonna need a miracle (we're gonna need a miracle)
When things are critical (when things are critical)
We're gonna need a miracle (we're gonna need a miracle)
The world's in trouble (the world's in trouble)
Cover it in marigolds (cover it in marigolds)
Cities in rubble (cities in rubble)
We all need a miracle (we all need a miracle)
Marigold, marigold
Marigold, marigold
Marigold, marigold
Marigold (cover it in marigold)
When times are difficult, we're gonna need a miracle
When things are critical, we're gonna need a miracle
The world's in trouble, cover it in marigolds
Cities in rubble, we all need a miracle
