Testo Song for Congress - Nada Surf
Testo della canzone Song for Congress (Nada Surf), tratta dall'album Song for Congress
I'm a New Yorker with long American roots
I see a land that's tilting
And I don't know what to do
Something is different, this danger feels new
Who do we look to?
In the capital building, the chosen few
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
As you walk through Statuary Hall
D'you hear the marble breathing?
All the statues are tryna talk
What do you think that they're saying?
The muse of history writes everything down
She writes just what she sees
In Washington town
As you walk through Statuary Hall
D'you catch the marble moving?
All the statues are tryna walk
Where do you think that they're going?
We're on a bigger team than left or right
We have a flickering history as a guiding light
Don't wanna see the American dream die in the night
Round the world in bars and parks people commiserate
Complex feelings round this flag of our but don't wanna see it fade
They still want their American friend
As you walk through Statuary Hall
D'you see the marble moving?
All these statues are starting to walk
Where do you think that they're going?
To find the man who would be king
Doesn't seem to care about anything
Now's the time to do something
(Do we dare look away? Shut our eyes as we slide into the dark?)
Now's the time to do something
(When we're all looking back, we will cry when we see what we have done)
Now's the time to say something
(Families split up, the world heating up)
Now's the time to say something
(We are letting hate lead us away)
