Esperanza Spalding - Noble Nobles lyrics

Dining debutantes in pearl and
Powdered sugar face their refined tastes
Come suckle from mama’s wet maid, you know

Drinking dapper gents in wig
And rosy cultured views toasting the news
All cargo on Jesus was sold today

Manifest and lavish
God wants him to have this
And without a doubt believe his
Ends are noble so the savage means
Are deleted from the scene so
We can believe that we are
Noble nobles what a savage myth

Walking pioneers in blazing trails
And rushing gold so far from home
But none of them shed any tears at all
Not at all

Talking founding fathers with
A free philosophy that don’t mention me
Or the stain of red blood on their hands
At all

Now, we all replay it till we understand
The moral of, the story we’re shooting again
Tomorrow's savages!

Manifest in lavish
God wants him to have this
And without a doubt, believe his
Ends are noble so the savage means
Are deleted from the scenes
So we can believe that we are
Noble nobles, what a savage myth
