lyrics

My friends, please don’t pull your knives out
Honestly, I think I’m gonna sit this one out.
I can tell that they brought bigger guns than last time,
Do you remember what happened last time?
When our fathers tried to take out all the bad guys,
They thought they won but they just stabbed out their own eyes,
I don’t think that they’ll ever be the same.
While you’re at it, won’t you take a look in your Septuagint
Count the kings that came and went inside that book man,
Do you really think that war is the way?

I’ve been thinking of a whole new way of thinking,
I’ve been dreaming ‘bout a whole new kind of kingdom,
But judging by your actions I don’t think you understand.
I’m still gonna tell it to the big man
We all know he’s gonna give my ass a whooping,
But that’s okay cuz it’s the only way I want to be.

My friends, I know this is gonna hurt,
But I guess I have to die to show you how it works
The truth is you don’t know that you don’t know
How lost you are, but you are.
Love is the only revolution,
It’s an undefeated, unconditioned constitution,
And no matter what we do it’s always gonna win.
So consider this the one inauguration
Of the borderless and undivided nation,
A kingdom with no beginning and one that will never end.

I’ve been thinking of a whole new way of thinking,
I’ve been dreaming ‘bout a whole new kind of kingdom,
But judging by your actions I don’t think you understand.
I’m still gonna tell it to the big man
And we all know he’s gonna give my ass a whooping,
But that’s okay cuz it’s the only way I want to be.

My friends, I guess this is Passover
Soon enough you’re gonna know, what it’s worth.
So won’t you drink a glass of wine, when you think about me...
Will you raise it to the sky, to our divinity?
Will you sip it slow and dive into humanity?
Will you lose your lives, to show the world just what they’re worth?
