Thinking about when I was real young
Feeling like I was the only one
Pouring the bottom, the state of disconnection
Tell me would it be so bad
When you would come along for the ride
No one can stop us from crossing the line
All I can say is what I will do
Get out of the way or we are going to
Burn the whole thing down
It’s what we’re gonna do now
I’ll show you what it’s all about
Come to find out we’re highly indivisible
Gonna find out we’re something like invincible
You’re just in the way ’cause someone led you astray
We come from one and the same
Nothing [?]
The ending this feels like it could go on
And go on for the distance
And it says of discontent
When your back is up against the wall
Full of resistance
Yeah
All I can say is what I will do
Get out of the way or we are going to
Burn the whole thing down
It’s what we’re gonna do now
Show you what it’s all about
Come to find out we’re highly indivisible
Gonna find out we’re something like invincible
You’re just in the way ’cause someone led you astray
We come from one and the same
One and the same is the yin and the yang
Comprising everything
Greater than the sum of the parts
That’s why we got this far
Vital to the survival
Of the human race
That’s why we’re letting them know
Scream in your fucking face
One in the same with the pain
Do or die with your mane
Ain’t nothing’s changed
Just us strangers burning sage in the cage
We never gage, renegades
So bring up your parades
No matter age or the decade
We’re not lost in a purple haze
Come to find out we’re highly indivisible
Gonna find out we’re something like invincible
You’re just in the way ’cause someone led you astray
We come from one and the same
