Switchfoot - Overthrow lyrics

[Switchfoot - Overthrow lyrics]

All our pretty roads, fairy tales and crowns
Broken on the floor
All our little words, love
And peace and love, spoken with a sword
We say overthrow the government
Put a new one up instead

If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul

Tell me how it goes, the one about the war
The war that killed the king
Our hearts are still the same
Stone and ice and steal
Lifeless hollow things
You say overthrow the government
Who will save us from yourself?

If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow yourself, yourself
Yourself

Take me down and lock me up
You can't change my head
You can't change my heart
When this old life is done
Will we still be the stubborn
Souls we always were?
Today is our last change to turn around
To turn around yourself, yourself, yourself

If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul
