Flobots - The Circle in the Square lyrics

Hands in the air presidents, prime ministers
They said that we didn't care
But that isn't fair

Hands in the air presidents, prime ministers
They said that we didn't care
But we're the circle in the square

Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square

The time is now, our time has come
We show them how, what can't be done
No matter what they say or they don't say
We make a way out of no way
Against the gun, beneath the veil
Yes we can, too big to fail
We are the ones we're waiting for
We save ourselves praise the lord

We are sly and the family stone in calamity
Triumph when thrown to the domes
Of these Goliaths planted seeds in silence
And granted meek compliance
And in the spring rain exploded in a riot
Of color and excitement wearing no disguises
Declaring to the stars that
We trek like enterprises
Of candlelight revivals and how
We lift the blindfolds
We end in Revelation, like it was the Bible

Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square

We are the circle in the square
We breathe air the same as
The ones who didn't prepare don't be scared
Whatever time it was when you began
The clock is now 11: 55 on the big hand
So you're invited into the circle
That we sleep in
Invited to depend on friendships we deepen

The treasures maps we pretend we
Do not believe in show us how to

Party at the protest, rally like a rockstar
Yallah, Yallah, Allahu Akbar
Do svidaniya ego, foster all the people
El pueblo unido, jamas sera vencido

Party at the protest, rally like a rockstar
Yallah, Yallah, Allahu Akbar
Do svidaniya ego, foster all the people
El pueblo unido, jamas sera vencido

We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square

We are the night light
Bearers for night terrors
We are group dreamers
Vision seekers and pall bearers
In aftermath of blight errors
Blood type and marrow
To the bone oaths and beat
Hope into plow shares
We're balancing the balance beam
Pulling strings from battle scene tapestries
And ravenous advocates for smaller teams
Pop the bubbles of crystal schemes
We are the sleep walkers for stalled dreams

Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Up, hands in the air
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square

We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
