Occupied

There's a sky high as ever built on
This was a warning
Onto kings now onto
Boys that's living downtown
I am kneeling let you (?)
Shackles on fires
On cigarettes and everything you went down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
There's a shame wasn't people clear to be
What's another, another
When the fact it's more than a moral act of joy
You're on
The sky is kind thinking through in 21
To try to love for sorrow
No need to talk (?)
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
You've taken lost to the truth on war inside
What if he's on freedom
But when you sing it doesn't line you
Out there
Keep (?) the lesser you could breathe
Always so unselfish
Onto this day so felt that way on time
Free ones
Get a hold
Just keep uphold
We are the shells and hell for some people
Some kind of retribution
You wanna free from his arms and eyes catching crime
And find
As you know that's not the way it goes
When was it ever? No
'Cause working people thrive for (?)
Go down
Down, down, down
