Testo Sides - Flobots
Testo della canzone Sides (Flobots), tratta dall'album The Circle In The Square
Yeah, yeah, yeah
This is more than an idea
Singing oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Show me all of who you are
Singing oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
A voice from the wilderness, Detroit and Port-au-Prince
Building a movement from the basic ingredients
Immediate response, knee reaction to the chemicals
Screaming compassion from the tracks to the tennis shoes
With academics trapped in academies
Who don't renew movement or produce strategies
Orphans of the data stream, emptiness we had to fill
Building resistance to opiates and imbeciles
I hate to take a side, I gotta take a side
When it's time to take a side, stand up for what is right
Or should I say left? 'Cause that's usually where I find myself
Aligned for the future that we're trying for
Slogan on my signboard, look across the line
You're tired, you're scared, you're working overtime
War fatigued, Christ Lord, another giant's born
Midwifed by the phantom crying for
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Singing oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How the West was, how the West is
Show 'em how the West is
One for my dreams, two for my doubts
Three for the people that have been left out
Four for the love that can save us
Five for the names on the grave, Troy Davis
Six for the pain, seven for the patience
Eight for the strains of the tough conversations
Nine for the kids on the front lawn racing
To ten, the joy that can never be taken
For all the why I keep forsaking the times I've mistaken
The side that I'm taking and the life that I'm making
For the missed demonstrations, the time I lacked patience
Tolling while violence played favorites
Compliance rolled huckable like Torah
It still didn't show up
When justice hit the streets, the definition didn't hold up
For why we are divided, the reason why we're fighting
Or what a human life is or what the meaning of a side is
I can tell you where to go
Singing oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You are never on your own
Singing oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We'll live on when we are gone
We'll be everywhere at once
