Testo Everybody Shatter - Algiers feat. Big Rube
Testo della canzone Everybody Shatter (Algiers feat. Big Rube), tratta dall'album Shook
A-Town '81
Your seeds on the street just up and gone
It's the same song
Downtown the air is bleak
Cut the South Side off and let it bleed
It's the same song
On Osage in '85
They're sure enough gonna take you but not alive
It's the same song
Got stopped in '21
But If they said your name, you might live on
It's the same song
The white crow in 19-4
Said "they're gonna bite back so that you don't"
It's the same song
They say "Oh lord, a man done gone"
14th and 5th, the flag flies on
It's the same song
Shape and sound we forgot to fear
Shut your eyes and shut your ears
Scream and shout, try to drown it out
But it won't let you unhear it
Shape and sound we forgot to fear
Shut your eyes and shut your ears
We'll revolve for a little while
But we all fall down in tears
Dance, I wanna dance
I wanna dance into the after
Until it comes to pass and like broken glass
Everybody break down and shatter
I wanna dance, I wanna dance
I wanna dance into the after
Where everything you know and what you don't
Really won't even matter
I say
We shatter
We all fall, it's a sign of the times
We shatter
We all crack trying to walk the line
We shatter
We all fall, it's a sign of the times
We shatter
And stay broke forever after
Clapping your hands and you're stomping your feet, it's coming
It's the beginning of the end that you see, it's coming
So leave your intentions if you're strapped at the door
'Cause the first time that you shatter, there won't be no more
So let's dance, I wanna dance
I wanna dance into the after
Until it comes to pass and like broken glass
Everybody breaks down and shatters
Dance, I wanna dance
I wanna dance into the after
Where everything you know and what you don't
Really won't even matter
I say
We shatter
We all fall, it's a sign of the times
We shatter
We all crack trying to walk the line
We shatter
We all fall, it's a sign of the times
We shatter
And stay broke forever after
We shatter
We all fall, it's a sign of the times
We shatter
We all crack trying to walk the line
We shatter
We all fall, it's a sign of the times
We shatter
And stay broke forever after
Too many of us shook
There are constructs put in place
Intent on throwing us off
Threaten the spiritual balance until our mental focus is lost
Overwhelming emotional challenges
Feeding dread and despair
Distraction to keep us from practicing things like active compassion
Starving love and feeding hate
Causing inhumane interactions
To breed separation, not unification
Because of humanity's actions
This goes against our nature
Its inherently backwards
So we imprison ourselves
And don't see we hold the key to the shackles
The answers to all our questions in life that tend to be overlooked
Lie within our grasp yet will continue to pass as long as we shook
