The Herd - Future Shade lyrics
[The Herd - Future Shade lyrics]
Planted in the summer, blooming in the spring
You may not like the harvest
Or what the fruit's bring
You don't own this thing
You don't own this garden
When you shake the tree down
You don't know what you started
You who plants the seed
('cause you don't know what you started)
Never to enjoy the shade
(no, you don't know what you started)
The tree that brings the change
(no, you don't know what you started)
Your work is not in vain
Now we just want you to fly
The feeling of freedom when you democratise
Join us up in the sky, boy
That means that you're alive trust us on it
Crack some eggs to make the omelette
Better that than bomb it
Baby, this is springtime
Look at what we got potted
Tree will bear what we wanted I hope
The plant that we install is my vote
If not then sniper and murder she wrote
Got it
Locked in, your type of awe seems shocking
With a headshot on a head of state
Your peace can devastate
Our peace can't wait for a moment
Thought we owned it the truth hurt
Ruffled the hem of a blue skirt
Then forgotten back to the well
To drink the poison water
Freedom doesn't begin in springtime
Like it ought to
Planted in the summer, blooming in the spring
You may not like the harvest
Or what the fruit's bring
You don't own this thing
You don't own this garden
When you shake the tree down
You don't know what you started
You who plants the seed
('cause you don't know what you started)
Never to enjoy the shade
(no, you don't know what you started)
The tree that brings the change
(no, you don't know what you started)
Your work is not in vain
And God knows that we'll be righteous
When were taming the tigris, do you get it?
We get it whether or not
We don't care if we get invited
We're dealing with tyrants, hamas surprises
Yes, they won
Still we will not let them democratise it
And the uprisings and who to pick a side with
Do a deal or fight with
What we want is sidekicks and
What we have is violence
You labelled freedom fighters
Insurgents in Guantanamo
When justice ain't been just since geronimo
Cross-border raids to demonstrate
The rule's fluid
Which is pretty much the same way
Our supreme leaders do it so tell me
What kind of enduring freedom is this?
That leaves a million bleeding or
Buried beneath the grit
Then there comes a day
When the ground work was laid
Our hearts and heads were strong
We couldn't wait any longer
Then there comes a night
When the dark steals the light
The cycles will go on
You made us wait even longer
You who plants the seed
(you made us wait even longer)
You made us wait even longer
The tree that brings the change
(you made us wait even longer)
You made us wait even longer
The moon will only rise when
The people so desire
Yet the sun will fall on an empire
Defending her pride
Yo, we're tired of the masks
People tired of the zig zags
And we're sick of the myth of the good guy
Who is that? Your flag is up in flames
The claims of liberators
Are bitter statements when on their say so
Planes deliver their payload
And on the ground the people rage
They're on the phone and tweeting change
The page they're writing into
History ain't the same
They want to sign their name there
For the masses gathered in the main square
Shouting down the despot
And crowding round the death squad
A day so many dreamed of
Remember what the seed was
The struggle and the sacrifice to
Keep the hope alive when they
Planted in the summer, blooming in the spring
You may not like the harvest
Or what the fruit's bring
You don't own this thing
You don't own this garden
When you shake the tree down
You don't know what you started
You who plants the seed
('cause you don't know what you started)
Never to enjoy the shade
(no, you don't know what you started)
The tree that brings the change
(no, you don't know what you started)
Your work is not in vain
You who plants the seed
Never to enjoy the shade
The tree that brings the change
Your work is not in vain
You may not like the harvest
Or what the fruit's bring
You don't own this thing
You don't own this garden
When you shake the tree down
You don't know what you started
You who plants the seed
('cause you don't know what you started)
Never to enjoy the shade
(no, you don't know what you started)
