Public Servants Lyrics by Drinking Flowers

New Swirled Order

2016

[Verse 1]
Maybe they were homeless
Maybe they were ethnic
Maybe they were running
Maybe you forget
Maybe they were smoking
Maybe they were choking
Maybe they didn’t hear you
Maybe they fear you
Maybe they were selling loose cigarettes
Maybe they’re a pesky activist
Maybe they were speeding down college road
Maybe they got lost on the way home
[Chorus]
You can’t simply wipe the slate clean
The weight of the flowers and all the cream
Won’t bow down gracefully when our freedom is all refused
[Verse 2]
Maybe they were homeless
Maybe they were ethnic
Maybe they were running
Maybe you forget
Maybe they were smoking
Maybe they were choking
Maybe they didn’t hear you
Maybe they fear you
Maybe they were selling loose cigarettes
Maybe they’re a pesky activist
Maybe they were speeding down college road
Maybe they got lost on the way home
[Chorus]
You can’t simply wipe the slate clean
The weight of the flowers and all the cream
Won’t bow down gracefully when our freedom is all refused
You can’t simply wipe the slate clean
The weight of the flowers and all the cream
Won’t bow down gracefully when our freedom is all refused
You can’t simply wipe the slate clean
The weight of the flowers and all the cream
Won’t bow down gracefully when our freedom is all refused
You can’t simply wipe the slate clean
The weight of the flowers and all the cream
Won’t bow down gracefully when our freedom is all refused
