Lotus

Текст песни Cage the Elephant - Lotus

[Intro]
When you gonna fire it up?
When you gonna fire it up?

[Verse 1]
I've got you moving to the city
Oh my, you think you're looking pretty
But they've got a pistol, too
Tucked down beneath their shoe
It's a new sensation, world annihilation
Moving through the music, patiently it's waiting
The city's screaming, I can hear them breathing
Crying out for wisdom, hungry minds are feeding

[Chorus]
And I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot, they designed your life
But true souls said you know what's right
And you can join us on the other side

[Interlude]
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?

[Verse 2]
I've got you marching to a drumbeat
Oh, my, you got another nosebleed
They'll keep you so amused
You'll never taste the truth
It's a new creation, total domination
Chains across your shoulders, social captivation
Kill our leaders, persecute our teachers
Criticize our culture, crucify free thinkers
[Chorus]
I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot, they designed your life
But true souls said you know what's right
And you can join us on the other side

[Breakdown]
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?

[Verse 3]
Fill our eyes with money, vanity that's cunning
Only on the surface, diamonds look so stunning
Mass deception altered our perception
Sold it to the children, made a new connection

[Chorus]
And I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot, they designed your life
But true souls said you know what's right
And you can join us on the other side

[Outro]
Our sidewalks are broken, our minds have been twisted
The billboards are lying, the lies have been made
The streets are all empty, we paved them with zombies
A lost generation generically made
When amidst all the madness I saw a flower
A dream that was creeping I kept in my sight
Then it turned and it took me, an explosion, it shook me
Beauty that screams "I'm alive"
