Headlines
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.
We’re feeding the kids with the crumbs
From the kings at the table
Lend me your legs now
Let's make a stand
We'll fly with the pigs
And we'll sleep like a fire in the stable
We'll bring the water with holes in our hands
We are not the headlines
Its alright, it’s alright
Head on down the saltmines
Its alright, it’s alright
All we need is our time
Its alright, it’s alright
Because we are not the headlines
Raised with a Cane
I'll be damned if I’m done while I'm able
Let's saddle up now
For the dark horse parade
Lend me an eye for the truth
And a tongue while I'm capable
And show me a rooftop
To scream down the days
We are not the headlines
Its alright, it’s alright
Head on down the saltmines
Its alright, it’s alright
All we need is our time
Its alright, it’s alright
Because we are not the headlines
