Colors Lyrics by American Theory

Your Local Politics

2018

It’s the calm of the storm
There’s a song in the heart
The counter-melody is a mystery to me
Love is dead, hate’s alive
And the body is dying on the inside
The lungs are filled to the brim with the blood of the beautiful
Walls have eyes, fields have ears
They know we live in fear
They see in black and white
Don’t walk alone tonight
Suddenly, there’s singing
Can the choir save us all?
There’s something about the way we’re
Fighting and what we’re fighting for
Suddenly, there’s hope
And, suddenly, there’s a chance
There’s something about the way
Our words are winning the war on their weapons
I’m taking steps to bind and breaking through the Rhine
Some of us are living
Underground on a railroad
And it’s been 240 years
Since freedom kissed the country
But it was an affair
Begged the lover for another chance
“I swear I’ll leave humanity in the streets
If you can just keep me in your sheets.”
This whole world is not enough
Borders porous, build the king’s wall
Press the pedal, pull the trigger
And tell me what’s a better way to love
Than through the barrel of a gun?
(Unconventional, unconditional
Aren’t we all the same inside?
They say it’s politics
People kneel, act appalled
History: tear it down
Just tell me what’s a better way to love
Than through the barrel of a gun?)
Suddenly, there’s singing
Can the choir save us all?
There’s something about the way we’re
Fighting and what we’re fighting for
Suddenly, there’s hope
And, suddenly, there’s a chance
There’s something about the way
Our words are winning the war on their weapons
A voice is aimed to fire
To melt the aging heart:
The heart of the ugly
Suddenly, there’s singing
Can the choir save us all?
There’s something about the way...
Suddenly, there’s singing
Can the choir save us all?
There’s something about the way we’re
Fighting and what we’re fighting for
Suddenly, there’s hope
And, suddenly, there’s a chance
There’s something about the way
Our words are winning the war on their weapons
I’m taking steps to bind and breaking through the Rhine
