The Promise
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.
This Is America yeah it's true
but everything else is false
that was taught to
me and you
but
I try to sort it out
I'll try to sort it out
with you
Did you promise the world
that you'd change it?
Sounds like the way that I feel
One brick thrown, one vote alone
won't take back everything they steal
we'll take back everything they steal
This Is America yeah it's true
but everything else is false
that was taught to
me and you
but
I try to sort it out
I'll try to sort it out
Shake It Up
Shake me 'til I wake from the coma
All the distance
distorted and lonely too
so out of the target
so out of the target I'm pushing you
Promised the world that you'd change it
Sounds like the way that I feel
One brick thrown, One vote alone
won't take back everything they steal
everything they steal
We're all walking forward
For every treaty broken:
annihilation tokens
for every treaty broken
we'll take back everything they steal
