- The Tongue f/ Jane Tyrell - Inheritance Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- [Verse 1]
- A new day dawns and it still ain't rained
- And some say the planet earth still ain't changed
- I wonder what they make of the extended summers
- And storms that don't stop 'til the whole town's under
- Seems we all just do what we feel like
- Do whatever feels good - not what feels right
- Not sure why but we've sacrificed foresight
- Blinded by the lights of these television screens
- I want to hear the television scream
- Instead of reading us the small print of big business deals
- Imagine how your kids would feel growing up
- Skin burning up each day, heat wave never slowing up and sure enough
- The powers that be create argument
- But that's a childs game, we both know who started this
- You once made a promise, I hope you can remember it
- COs we've got no choice but to accept this inheritance
- [Chorus: Jane Tyrell] {Vocals}
- Look what we inherited
- This is what we inherited
- How can we say thank you
- If you won't let us open our mouth?
- Look what we inherited
- This is what we inherited
- How can we say thank you
- If you won't let us open our mouth?
- [Verse 2]
- Can't you understand how the modern man was made insane?
- When his plans for the future feel made in vain?
- When anyone who makes a stand gets chopped at the knees?
- Unarmed protesters shot by police
- Then reports switch name-tags - we're the enemies
- It's a *bad education* when you can't afford the fees
- The pieces of this pie could feed forty thieves
- If you've never smelt the greed you're a little naïve
- And a little like me, back when I was 18
- Before I saw blood spilt for an Australian dream
- It was your blood, my blood
- OhLord wise up, rise up and see how they're blundering your kingdom
- But second coming never came it's a shame that if God don't exist then that
- makes you insane
- He'll discipline his children with the force of the elements
- And we've got no choice but to accept his inheritance
- [Chorus]
- Look what we inherited
- This is what we inherited
- How can we say thank you
- If you won't let us open our mouth?
- Look what we inherited
- This is what we inherited
- How can we say thank you
- If you won't let us open our mouth?
- [Verse 3]
- We all in this together, so keep digging your grave so we can fall in
- together
- Climbing out would give in to pressure
- Have you ever had the guts to admit we don't live forever?
- No cure for denial, praise for false idols
- Easy to get dizzy on a downward spiral
- Still blockout, can't blockout the burning truth
- The sins of the father revisit the youth
- It's a black and white issue now that green turned brown
- Red faced when I think about how we turned out
- Owed the world everything, we dying in debt
- Life's a mirror that reflects what's under the flesh
- And there isn't an alternative to breath
- Believe this alternative energy is our alternative to death
- But I'm a sinner too, sense regret in my sentiment
- All I wanna do is thank you for this inheritance
- [Chorus]
- Look what we inherited
- This is what we inherited
- How can we say thank you
- If you won't let us open our mouth?
- Look what we inherited
- This is what we inherited
- How can we say thank you
- If you won't let us open our mouth?
