Songtext zu Houston

[Verse]

If the storm doesn't kill me, the government will

I've got to get that out of my head

It's a new day today and the coffee is strong

I finally got some rest

So a man's put to task and challenges

I was taught to hold my head high

Collect what is mine

Make the best of what today has

[Chorus]

Houston is filled with promise

Laredo's a beautiful place

Galveston sings like that song that I loved

Its meaning has not been erased

[Bridge]

And so there are claims forgiven

And so there are things that are gone

[Chorus]

Houston is filled with promise

Laredo's a beautiful place

Galveston sings like that song that I loved

Its meaning has not been erased

[Outro]

And some things, they fall to the wayside

Their memories yet to be stilled

Belief has not failed me

And so I am put to the test

Songtext zu Until the Day Is Done

[Verse 1]

The battle's been lost, the war is not won

An addled republic, a bitter refund

The business first flat earthers licking their wounds

The verdict is dire, the country's in ruins

[Chorus]

Providence blinked, facing the son

Where are we left to carry on?

Until the day is done

[Verse 2]

So we've written our stories to entertain

These notions of glory and bull market gain

The teleprompt flutters, a power surge brings

An easyspeak message falls into routine

[Chorus]

Providence blinked, facing the son

Where are we left to carry on?

Until the day is done

[Verse 3]

A voice whispers, "Son"

The blessed vision comes

What have I done? What have I done?

So hold tight your babies and your guns

Forgive us our trespasses, Father and Son

[Chorus]

Providence blinked, facing the son

Where are we left to carry on?

Until the day is done

Songtext zu Mr. Richards

[Verse 1]

Mr. Richards, your position

Is a messenger pigeon

Left behind you when the camp moved on

We thought that you would listen

But the words had never crystallized

Into a truth that you might own, hey hey

[Chorus]

Mr. Richards, your decision

Pay attention, pay attention

[Verse 2]

Mr. Richards, you're forgiven

For a narrow lack of vision

But the fires are still raging on

The public's got opinions

And these consequences border on

The compound that you razed where "zealots" sang, hey hey

[Chorus]

Mr. Richards, your decision

Pay attention, pay attention

[Verse 3]

So listen, your intention;

Sign the papers, stamp the ribbon

You're mistaken if you think we'll just forget

You can thump your chest and rattle

Stand in front of your piano

[Bridge]

But we know what's going on

Yes, we know what's going on

We're the children of the choir, hey

And we know what's going on

[Verse 4]

Mr. Richards, your conviction

Had us cheering in the kitchen

Now the jury's eating pigeon pie

So tell me how is prison?

Have they taught you how to listen?

We've begun to bridge the schism

Pay attention, pay attention

[Chorus]

Mr. Richards, your decision

Pay attention, pay attention

[Outro]

You can thump your chest and rattle

Stand in front of your piano

But we know what's going on

Yes, we know what's going on

We're the children of the choir, hey

From the compound fire, hey

And we know what's going on

Yes, we know what's going on
