I the Mighty - Karma Keepers lyrics
[I the Mighty - Karma Keepers lyrics]
We started riots in the streets just
So you could point the finger
We set fire to these cities just so we
Could watch them burn and light our way
You can call us hell, call us what you will
Just don't you ever call us by our names
We are you sisters, your brothers, your sons
The whole damn brigade
And we won't stop till every citizen
They get what they deserve
So be kind to your elders
And watch your words
I'm callin' it quit's just as
Soon as we return
But for now I'm just a patriot at work
So we sing "Oh you poor, poor soul
I've been sent here to bring you home
My queen, she brews a powerful stew
And we need just one piece of you"
We are the shadow that is cast
Upon your richest city square
We are the voices that you'll hear
A single hour 'fore we're there
If the wind's in your favor
And we only do to those as they have
Done to others so you should know
Whether to wave as we're passing you
By or hide in your rooms
Some give us praise, some join and stay
Some say we're playing God
And all in one voice we sing "you're
Wrong" but they may be not
So I'm callin' it quit's just
As soon as we return
But for now I'm just a patriot at work
So we sing "Oh you poor, poor soul
I've been sent here to bring you home
My queen, she brews a powerful stew
And we need just one piece of you
My queen, she brews a powerful stew
And we need just one piece of you"
So you could point the finger
We set fire to these cities just so we
Could watch them burn and light our way
You can call us hell, call us what you will
Just don't you ever call us by our names
We are you sisters, your brothers, your sons
The whole damn brigade
And we won't stop till every citizen
They get what they deserve
So be kind to your elders
And watch your words
I'm callin' it quit's just as
Soon as we return
But for now I'm just a patriot at work
So we sing "Oh you poor, poor soul
I've been sent here to bring you home
My queen, she brews a powerful stew
And we need just one piece of you"
We are the shadow that is cast
Upon your richest city square
We are the voices that you'll hear
A single hour 'fore we're there
If the wind's in your favor
And we only do to those as they have
Done to others so you should know
Whether to wave as we're passing you
By or hide in your rooms
Some give us praise, some join and stay
Some say we're playing God
And all in one voice we sing "you're
Wrong" but they may be not
So I'm callin' it quit's just
As soon as we return
But for now I'm just a patriot at work
So we sing "Oh you poor, poor soul
I've been sent here to bring you home
My queen, she brews a powerful stew
And we need just one piece of you
My queen, she brews a powerful stew
And we need just one piece of you"
