"Ring 6 - LoTown" lyrics

"Ring 6 - LoTown"

Raised routinely to believe
We've a narrowed purpose we can't contravene
Blessed is the obligation
Anything unique is blasphemy
They need more mouths to feed

Some of us fall off the path
Make our decisions never looking back
Autonomy's short-lived. They don't forgive
And so, we're damned by autocrats
To feed the mouths in need

But the quotas are too much
The yields not enough
We work our hardest, but
The basins drying up
And they deny that simple truth
They seem determined, resolute
To fail

We're held beneath the monolith
Of their manipulation
We exist
Entangled in creation
Hypocrites
Too often make decisions
Raring to quote a God
To get what they want

Down here we all grow anything we want to
And every single bloom's a victory
Any joy you can find is encouraged by the Consistery

Down here we share the weight of every burden
But every sister is your devotee
Whoever you were, when you come here, it's ancient history

We're held beneath the monolith
Of their manipulation
We exist
Entangled in creation
Hypocrites
Too often make decisions
Raring to quote a God

We're held beneath the monolith
We exist
Hypocrites
Too often make decisions
Raring to quote a God
To get what they want

From down here
The sunlight rarely warms the ice enough to break a sweat
But nothing rivals just how cold another's judgment gets
This bit of distance sure does hush those holy epithets
From down here
The city's voices bounce around till nothing's clear at all
So we dissociate from anyone who's never made the fall
You'll never get us until you're with us, down here
Down here
Down here
