"Y'all Don't Wanna Step To Dis" lyrics
"Y'all Don't Wanna Step To Dis"
Four sins past sainthood, it's like I'm dying to forget
All the sleepless nights lying perfectly alone and still
I can drink 'till victory, I'll drink to the mighty
Drink until I die or at least until the sunrise
When honesty, as popular as a plague, comes to remind me
The dead's winning the race with me going nowhere
Right down the street a prostitute is selling
The closest thing to love that this country has to offer
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
So we fought for the republic
While the Catholic sun filled every eye
From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean
Victory, I'll drink to the mighty
We died for oil, we died for borders
Killed for democracy, still believed every platform
Can you handle the death
Accept what we create together?
I still know every politician
Is a fucking monster
Culture kills bureaucrats
And all other undesirables
History said we died for freedom
But today no justice was served
And America still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And I hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow
So we boasted that we were champions
Each country singing its own praise
Like a rock thrown into the ocean
Humanity was rising to the top, two world wars later
Countless military interventions
We erect monuments to history
And give apologies to the dead
All that was fought for the living is quickly forgotten
We don't remember the dates
We don't remember the reasons
We have no idea what's going on
Building histories of western corporations
It doesn't even turn my stomach
To see the pictures of atrocities anymore
Going numb in the new order
Of the new century
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And the world still sleeps tonight...
And Alachua still sleeps tonight...
And America still sleeps tonight...
And the world still sleeps tonight...

Propagandhi - "Note To Self" No-fly list. No-drive list. No-walk list. No-talk list.
No muckraking journalist left to take stock of
the wholesale omission of outside perspectives.
How does it make you feel to know that you voted...
The Blood Brothers - "Crimes" There's a fire on
Junk Island, where
They send their garbage
Is anybody listening?
After work we'll watch
The seagulls, diving in
And out of the lashing towers of flame
It twinkles like a pile
Of...
Joyce Manor - "Constant Headache" I could hear you coming
So I hid by the couch
You were talking so loudly
I don't know what about
But you were drunker than high school
Self-conscious and sweet
I never ever felt so cool
Disguised in...
The Mountain Goats - "This Year" I broke free on a Saturday morning
I put the pedal to the floor
Headed north on Mills Avenue
And listened to the engine roar
My broken house behind me and good things ahead

PUP - "Morbid Stuff" I was bored as fuck
Sitting around and thinking all this morbid stuff
Like if anyone I've slept with is dead and I got stuck
On death and dying and obsessive thoughts that won't let up
It makes me...
