Televandals - Downpour lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Midnight, feel heat rise from the cement

sirens, they ring out like epithets

red flag on the front page worn through headlines

a propaganda war, baby dont go out tonight

you fight like hell, to pretend or deny within yourself

Failure, not worth what you have to spend

forever, a second-class citizen

Madison Avenue reality? Step back!

trying to buy me but I wont submit to that

I dream, drink, drag with no flag in my hand

innocence is my dissent

(Chorus)

One drop, ripple widens

downpour, aint subsiding

rain down, keep on falling

pouring down, or hear no more voices calling out

(Verse)

Martyr, poetically slit your writs

pariah, for those who try to resist

if you aint been warned, do not assimilate

no love, no time nor reciprocity

nearing the day youll be shot at if you run

cant wait to go underground when the time comes

Censored, opinions are not obscene

rise up, or bow down on your knees

our brothers and sisters forced to separate

new thought control through isolation

you gotta face the facts or break down and conform

whose side are you on, how long will you wait for?

(Chorus)

(Verse)

Anger, as sure as our blood is red

heaven, you never can second guess

another frontier torn apart

but if a voice is a weapon, mine is a machine gun

were not too late, no its not out of our hands

innocence will be our dissent

(Chorus)

One drop, ripple widens

downpour, ohh and it aint subsiding

rain down, keep on falling

tear it down, or hear no more voices calling

one drop, ripple widens

downpour, or in to silence
