Sandpeople - Paperwork lyrics

Eyes closed blindfolds
Apostles lost souls
Lost hope fossils
Not so god knows

I got that rollercoaster plummet stomach
Bad case of nerves, large bag of herb
Pushing paperwork
Everyday I earn for that next man
More than he puts in my left hand, in return
I want the tables turned
Where the grass is green
Where the dispersed, without the yard debris
I want this prophecy to be my pot of gold
But these dark clouds will never
Ever let the sun show
There ain’t no rainbows
There ain’t no proven path
Just some lame goals
So please point and laugh
I used to wear a mask just to be at ease


Cause I’m at combat with my inner deities

Indent the page
Clear my head of all thoughts
Of being trapped in this cage with
My head on the block
Me and my God have a separate walk
But I still walk with ‘em
And whether or not you think he hears me
I still talk to ‘em
Why dwell on my wrongdoings for too long?
Stewing in my own problems
Ain’t no new song and dance
And I won’t leave my fate up to chance
I gotta take what I can
You can relate or you can’t
Well, with so much on my plate as a man
My motivations and plans get rotated around
Hell ain’t enough time in a day
But I’ma find me a way to make it happen
It won’t fail

We pushing paperwork
A slave to work nine-to-five
Pushing weight and work, tryna grind
We gotta make this work
And oftentimes it’s worse than it seems
The birds will circle my dreams
The sun will burn the sky and
Hills that it hides behind
We pushing paperwork
A slave to work nine-to-five
Pushing weight and work, tryna grind
We gotta make this work
And oftentimes it’s worse than it seems
The birds will circle my dreams
The sun will burn the sky and
Hills that it hides behind

My decision was clear
Instead of a cigarette, I put a pen in my ear
Before Mo-B had driven me here to write
Driven from fear to fight
This stressful intention
I’m just tryna be successful and make it
(Yea) for all I care
Leave my dead body for the Jekylls and ravens
Just a worthless vessel here to
Search and rescue what’s sacred
I never saw why birth is a special occasion
Since mine
Feel I’ve been cursed to wrestle with Satan
Archangel that brings Armageddon
I be Gabrielle walk the streets
Armed to the teeth like a Navy Seal
And it’s crazy still i was raised by wolves
Hustling ‘til my plate is full
I’m a capable motherfucker
I sleep on the floor and think
About my peoples that’s poor
And ways to even do more, even the score
Then put police in a morgue
Or cut my wrist ‘til they leak and they pour
On the rug while mother beats on the door
She needs support, either or
They tell me make Jesus my Lord
But I question what I believe in it for
We explore
Science make me believe in it more
I re-record for the fans that
Ain’t being in stores i be the source

It’s through the disperses where pride comes
No one tells the first person
That they wanna die young
Foul mouths tell better lies with dry tongues
Pity no one listened to the
Song that the spy sung
He’s down among you in a wool coat
With sharp teeth stark speech, twisted so
Piled in a dark heap and uses sin to
Satisfy empirical requirements
He only comes to blow up
And burn down environments
Man, take five minutes
Sit down and shut the fuck up
And just listen to this shit

We pushing paperwork
A slave to work nine-to-five
Pushing weight and work, tryna grind
We gotta make this work
And oftentimes it’s worse than it seems
The birds will circle my dreams
The sun will burn the sky and
Hills that it hides behind
We pushing paperwork
A slave to work nine-to-five
Pushing weight and work, tryna grind
We gotta make this work
And oftentimes it’s worse than it seems
The birds will circle my dreams
The sun will burn the sky and
Hills that it hides behind
