《Mayday!!!(Album Version|Edited)》歌词

[00:00:00] Mayday (Album Version Edited) - Flobots

[00:00:00] Born in the flood bloody finger-paint sets

[00:00:03] Black marketed fresh water canons forget me not

[00:00:07] Epitaph airbrush with death

[00:00:10] White T's wife beaters button up reattach flesh

[00:00:14] In between the lines outside of the law

[00:00:18] Underneath the veil we dig our foundations

[00:00:21] We navigate the globe trying to find a pattern to break the mold

[00:00:24] With a family to feed theres nowhere we wont go

[00:00:29] But what if were caught

[00:00:30] They said Im a snitch

[00:00:32] Shot at the check point

[00:00:34] Found with his throat slit

[00:00:35] Theres spray paint on the teleprompter

[00:00:36] Anchorman screams that hes seen a monster

[00:00:38] Mayday theres bloodstains on his shirt

[00:00:40] Mayday they say that hes gone berserk

[00:00:46] Sometimes when I wanna shut out this world

[00:00:49] Wanna rip up this page

[00:00:50] Wanna pour out this heart

[00:00:52] Wanna get up on this stage

[00:00:53] And my lips become percussion

[00:00:55] And my fists become the rage

[00:00:56] And I pound on this table

[00:00:58] Till it gives me something to say

[00:01:00] Then I think about things

[00:01:01] That Ive seen right in front of me

[00:01:02] That I dont wanna believe

[00:01:03] Gimme one of these mikes

[00:01:04] Let me let em know the way that it is

[00:01:07] Is not how its gonna be

[00:01:08] Not if we dont let em get ahead of us

[00:01:10] The present tensions no threat

[00:01:12] Its just a fence across the path

[00:01:14] That we're already ready to walk

[00:01:15] Rock solid footsteps let em put up obstacles

[00:01:17] And prove that it isnt possible f**k that

[00:01:20] We dont give em any weight

[00:01:22] True liberty and freedoms at stake

[00:01:23] Peace will never become pass

[00:01:24] Live my life until my last day

[00:01:26] It was half-past eight in the bat cave

[00:01:28] When the cracks in the plaster collapsed

[00:01:30] And gave way to gaps in the pavement

[00:01:32] Mayday mayday

[00:01:33] Put it on blast

[00:01:34] For the passengers and messengers

[00:01:36] Cause this is a disaster

[00:01:37] Where the f**k are the rescue workers

[00:01:40] Not far off pissing on a cop car

[00:01:43] In the hall with a Pop-Tart

[00:01:44] Sipping liquor in the rock bar

[00:01:46] Everyone climb to the frontline lunchtimes canceled

[00:01:49] All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill

[00:01:52] Onlookers passers-by brush off your shoulders

[00:01:56] Shake off that rubble

[00:01:57] Break free from your standstill

[00:02:00] Signs of a better world causes we understand

[00:02:04] Failures we expected to occur

[00:02:06] And bring redemption for our sins

[00:02:08] Safety from the crowds in the shadows on the run

[00:02:11] We write our own Cider House Rules

[00:02:13] To keep alive rituals that prove their worth

[00:02:16] Search for systems we can trust

[00:02:17] Rhythms we can lock into

[00:02:25] This is madness salvage teams can't bandage

[00:02:26] Hope when its damaged or broken compassion

[00:02:28] Not enough rope in the van

[00:02:29] When world is collapsing our mode of action

[00:02:31] Broadcast through the glass all we can manage

[00:02:33] Donate with the plastic scraps from the salad

[00:02:35] Hoping to balance emotions invalidated

[00:02:36] And staged on 4:3 aspects

[00:02:38] Just ballast for sadness lives shattered

[00:02:40] Are standard fare for cameras and channels stare

[00:02:43] No abracadabras no faster answers or mantras for disasters

[00:02:47] Remastered or plastered we got it all backwards

[00:02:49] Do you know the faction you're backing

[00:02:51] Its another man down another mother gone

[00:02:53] Child drowned another silenced song

[00:02:54] Solitude another kind of strong

[00:02:56] I miss you another strung along

[00:02:58] Missing in action

[00:02:59] Another page is blackened burned

[00:03:01] Turned ashes to ashes

[00:03:02] Dust off the flags and the caskets

[00:03:04] We'll never find another you

[00:03:06] Despite the life of love we knew

[00:03:07] These lightning times are trouble

[00:03:09] Who cant count the strikes that punished through

[00:03:11] The bonds we thought would never break

[00:03:13] And never will and never change and never fade

[00:03:15] But theres the rage

[00:03:16] Of losing you to their mistakes

[00:03:18] In between the lines

[00:03:19] Refuge from the crow

[00:03:21] Causes we understand

[00:03:22] Hands that trace instructions

[00:03:23] For descendants in the shadows on the run

[00:03:26] Failures we expected to occur

[00:03:29] And bring redemption for our sins

[00:03:31] In between the lines

[00:04:00] In between the lines outside of the law

[00:04:03] Underneath the veil

[00:04:07] In between the lines outside of the law

[00:04:10] Underneath the veil

[00:04:14] In between the lines outside of the law

[00:04:17] Underneath the veil

[00:04:19] We carve our foundations

[00:04:20] In between the lines outside of the law

[00:04:24] In between the lines
