Lyrics
Fort Hood
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'd rather
Watch movie
Stars get fat
I'd rather
Hang up the flag
And be done with it
I'd rather
Keep the frenzy
And the fire
Out of my mind
I'd rather take sides
In an argument
I'd rather
Crank up the bass
In a dark basement
I'd rather
Leave the mobs
And the murder
In a distant land
Chorus:
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in, in
My vote's a bed
And a football pool
Five on the red
And six on the blue
Wake up, fool
This is no time
For a shouting match
I smell blood
And there's
No blood around
Blanked out eyes
And the blanked out sound
See them coming back
Motionless
In an airport lounge
(Chorus)
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
You should be
Getting stoned
With a prom dress girl
You should still believe
In an endless world
You should
(Pass young cheesy?)
In a parking lot
(Chorus)
