Astronautalis, Sims - Thomas Jefferson lyrics
[Astronautalis, Sims - Thomas Jefferson lyrics]
Every song I sing cuts a little bit more
You could never connect the copper
Cast with the mold
You could never guess, you could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
Every mile I drive, further down this road
Tears a little more off of my bones
And you could never guess
You could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
The first thing they was taught
Was how to load and lock
Take that aim and shot
Embrace the pain of shoulder
Blade taking stock
Watch 'em drop, pull the bolt back
Load another up till the clip goes "pop"
Till you sweep your block
And you can hear a pin drop
In a place that's more comfortable
With "pop pop pop pop"
The first thing they learned
Was how to plant that carbine in the earth
Prop that helmet on the stock
Hang them dog tags from the lock
Say your prayers and mark the spot
Where the body's interred then turn, taciturn
And take that walk, taste that salt
Sprinkle a little bit of lye in the earth
Don't cry when it hurts
Cause you ain't done yet son
Spill a little bit more blood
Everybody knows what comes from the
Warm wet red mud
Best believe, when you fall to your knees
You're gon' cry, you're gon' pray for peace
And they gonna plant them seeds
Of the winter wheat
And the Georgia peach watered up
With your red rum
Every song I sing cuts a little bit more
You could never connect the copper
Cast with the mold
You could never guess, you could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
Every mile I drive, further down this road
Tears a little more off of my bones
And you could never guess
You could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
I know he would've loved this
But he had to die to give it
I melted down his musket, turned it to a tool
Tilling like a fool to see
Where his blood went see if I can grow
Something beautiful above it
Standing guard above my garden till
The seeds take root
Taking shade under the trees
With the sweet grapefruit
I'll take my yields and his old
Boots till the leaves shake loose
I will die in these fields
But my seeds will move
The ox and yoke know every note I hum
Written in the grass by the midday sun
The lamp lit ahead of me with
The earth between my feet
I'll sing a song into the breeze
Let it fold the wheat
Every song I sing cuts a little bit more
You could never connect the copper
Cast with the mold
You could never guess, you could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
Every mile I drive, further down this road
Tears a little more off of my bones
And you could never guess
You could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
Every song I sing cuts a little bit more
You could never connect the copper
Cast with the mold
You could never guess, you could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
Every mile I drive, further down this road
Tears a little more off of my bones
And you could never guess
You could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
You could never connect the copper
Cast with the mold
You could never guess, you could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
Every mile I drive, further down this road
Tears a little more off of my bones
And you could never guess
You could never guess
You could never guess where I come from, no
The first thing they was taught
