Testo Safety - B. Dolan
Testo della canzone Safety (B. Dolan), tratta dall'album We Show Up (Live Recordings 2013-2015)
Let's have a spelling bee, Dublin
Goes like this
S-A-F-E-T-Y
Safety
Go ahead
S-A-F-E-T-Y
Safety
Get on my threat level and step into a nightmare
Everything a checkpoint, tryna find right here
Right hand of God, I'm a goddamn citizen
Trace the fingerprint of privilege and the pavement
Raising suspicion in a nation of snitches
Surveillance is the matrix we are trained to exist in
Gamma ray shots through the body, non-fiction
Sidewalks stopping for barricade box cement
Questions asked before we check bags
Repeated three times and lies within past
Gotta see documents
Gotta look you in the eye
Let you know that they are watching shit
Society of the spectacle, psychology of prison
Stripping off your garments is a ritual submission
Belts, wallets and shoes removed and you listen
See you could trade it for your safety in the sky, man
Terrorist tales, who's buying?
S-A-F-E-T-Y
Safety
We're here when you need us
We're here when you call
Look out, you see us
Looking back, keeping watch
Box cutter, jackknife, we the all-see
Four leak through the crack in the reinforced steel door
Feel your money clip, cut your purse
Sense of security, what's that worth?
My brother got a gun safe
That's a safe he bought to keep his guns safe
She keep a can of mace 'til she make it to home base
'Cause walking in the city at night could feel strange
So she's ready for whatever
Wrestles the persistence of a childhood terror
She's not a racist but the presence of a member
Of a certain ethnic group produces slight tremor
It's quite clever how the crime's done
Feeling better and protected when you sign up
But when the time comes
The insurance you purchase never covers what you die of
S-A-F-E-T-Y
Safety
Dance
We're here when you need us
We're here when you call
Look out, you see us
Looking back, keeping watch
Dublin
We're here when you need us
We're here when you call
Look out, you see us
Looking back, keeping watch
For your safety
We're here for your safety
We're here for your safety
Open letter to the editor, producer and director
Make a closed circuit movie of my movement that's repetitive
Illustrate your digits is the portrait of a terrorist
Protection is a fallacy balancing on the precipice
Bury the dead in the collection of a hoarder
Man drew the devil, the devil drew a porter
Hand you a shovel, instruct you to put a wall up
Hands for your supper 'cause something is hunting for us
Home invasion persuaders with forked tongues
Tell you plan for the jungle when it crumbles and the Lord comes
When cops buckle and the law runs
Will you stand in the rubble of your land with a drawn gun?
With a drawn gun
For that shit
For that shit
For that S-A-F
Safety
For that S-A-F-E-T-Y
Y, Y
