My people are leaving
Survivor, enshrined
The Tree That Owns Itself
Ambassador to humankind
The Tree That Owns Itself
My kingdom, uprooted
Dust settles, I'm alone
Mother says man and tree are siblings
Begs man, "Don't forget the trees, son"
Years pass, and the world is concrete
Mother won't forget the treason
My people are gone
Replaced by these buildings
The Tree That Owns Itself
Belongs to no one else
Arboreal emancipation
Underwhelming reparations

Nintendo Taught Me
03:54
|
|
||
1, 2, 3, 4
I spent my childhood in front of a TV
Mario and Luigi were my only friends
Nintendo taught me every castle holds a woman
Who resembles but never can replace our princess
Up, up, down, down, left, right, B, A, select, start
Nintendo taught me there's always a cheat
With a Game Genie I could be invincible
No pillar of fire will stop me now
I love my Nintendo
Our princess is in another castle

Intercepted again
Bring on the defense
Testaverde
You got a bad rap
Intercepted again
You're bouncing passes
Off the hands of stone men
Intercepted again
Intercepted
Put up the billboards
You got a bad rap
The fans can be so cruel
You got a bad rap
Testaverde
You got a bad rap
What more could you expect
From a colorblind quarterback?

Stand By
04:10
|
|

1, 2, 3, 4
I can't stand by
They say the world is watching
But I've got my doubts
For every peaceful protest a knee in the back
My whole lifetime
Eclipsed in a single heartbeat
Time was never on our side
Stand by
Someone else is working on it
Go home--the streets are empty
Go home and watch it on TV
1, 2, 3, 4
I can't stand by
I might be going too far
But at least I'm going somewhere
I can't just stand by and watch
I might be going too far
But at least I'm going somewhere
If you're a cog on a wheel then I'm a wrench

Sea Shepherd

1, 2, 3, 4
Pointing that harpoon at me
Blowing fish all over the sea
For all you animals marine
We are the Royal Navy
Eff your wine and cheese
Enjoy your PCBs
Taste that mercury
And find you lost at sea
Your vessel is our target
No more whales to market
No more dolphins slaughtered
The ocean has a shepherd
Pointing that harpoon at me
Blowing fish all over the sea
For all you animals marine
We are the Royal Navy

Bedrock
02:30

Build a structure with no function
Lead a mission without vision
In need of repair, a bridge to nowhere
Dig for the--
The cables tightened, our load will lighten
The gears are turning; the torch is burning
With steel and timber, we'll cross that river
Dig for the bedrock
Dig for bedrock
