Dan Bull - And the Songbird Sings lyrics

[Dan Bull - And the Songbird Sings lyrics]
And the Songbird sings (It's infinite)
This is for the voices who are unheard
Who never back talked one
Word to the Songbird
This is for the second-class citizens
And prisoners locked alone
I bring a list of things the
Prophet wants you not to know
I've got to blow the propaganda
Out the box and so open up the rift and put
This disc into your Voxophone
I'll take your brain to places
It doesn't often go
So brace yourself for take off
And watch the show
I'm properly known as Booker DeWitt
And I've had enough of this shit
Fed up of being stuck in a rut
So I'm looking to rough up a couple of pricks
And accomplish a mission to look
For a woman imprisoned
And stuck in a city where something's amiss
Like the rhythm the government's drumming
To whip the anger of the people daily
Handling the stress
While I've just ambled in from gambling
And landed in a mess and I'm telling ya
Elizabeth isn't a damsel in distress
She's the damn best wingman to
Ever don a dress (Yes)
To be honest, we've loads of things
In common, we both can bring an opening
We're probably closer twins than
Robert and Rosalind
I throw my grapple and aim to blow
The back of your brain out
And contemplate on why we
Play those irrational games
My main foe is Zachary Hale Comstock
The day his reign begun
A fundamental bomb dropped
Columbia's on lockdown
Everyday, they're destroying somebody
So what now? Send for Daisy Fitzroy
The rich get fatter while the
Slums are getting hungrier
It's a matter of time before they
Pull the rug from under ya
We'll make your money disappear from
You like a conjurer
And overthrow the fundies that
Are plundering Columbia
And the Songbird sings (It's infinite)
So I know this is absurd and sounds bananas
But have you observed the way
They worship founding fathers?
That's why the Vox Populi have
Hurtled out the darkness
Emerged, about to start to turn around
And clout this heartlessness
If this disc is flying
You'll be dying like you're Hyacinth
Hirelings or higher things? (Either)
Vox Populi's guys or Jeremiah Fink's
If they pile in on me
Then they'll receive undying violence
I'll lynch the pious kings with
The silent wire strings
From the tiny violins that won't be crying
When they're lying singed ignite the tinder
Set the sky alight in flights of cinders
And let freedom ring inside your
Cries like the singer
That's like trying to hide
Your violent injuries
As if they're minor things
By keeping just a tiny thimble on your finger
One hand holds Vigors
The other pulls triggers
I'm a multi tasking action man with
A glass full of malt liquor salt licker
Rapture's contraptions are fantastic
But don't exist yet, so
That is how we pack Plasmids
No need to hack gadgets
The manner in which I battle a
Handyman is akin to black magic
My life's a play where every act's tragic
And the Songbird sings (It's infinite)
This is for the voices who are unheard
Who never back talked one
Word to the Songbird
This is for the second-class citizens
And prisoners locked alone
I bring a list of things the
Prophet wants you not to know
I've got to blow the propaganda
Out the box and so open up the rift and put
