Pachakutíc - The Twenty-Two Lyrics

Show me a door to open
I'll blow it off the hinges
I come from the fringes
You can tell that he meant this
It took a nation of millions
In slaughter
Their sons and their daughters
Oppressed because of
Mothers and fathers
Thought crime, now they got you serving time
Police will come calling, there's no stalling
They blow in like sandy, adrenaline handy
Ready to blow a hole in another human soul
Well that's dandy

Incite a riot, fight the highest
Try this
Beat on for size
And close your eyes, the lies have begun
Said the fortunate son
To the unfortunate ones
Guns held, at the ready
Rock steady, we are heading
In a direction
A kent state resurrection
A reflection of the insurrection
The people give their blessing
To god and to gold
It all has a hold
To the bold human soul
So I just say no

Why do we wax on track after track
I stack another rack of words
On top of these verbs
To get you out of the burbs
The sprawl, the cause of it all
I find this
The mindless, the ravenous
We're zombies, We're after this, searching
To set our souls burning
Yearning for a brain, a heart, and some
Courage
It's nourish your body boom bap
With an elemental clap
To help with the mental nap

So wake up the head
And head for the border, in order
To keep sanity
That was my plan b
F*ck a grammy
I want Change
That's why I came
I can't stand the order
Of the people we choose to support us
I order the people
To do what the people
Did before us
The Bald Eagle
The Eye of Horus
Open the doors or implore us
But I swear you won't ignore us
This is our day like Doris

Sedate me to find the rhyme
The will, the reason or time
Never said it'd be easy
I dine in hell with angels
Seraphim lettered in sketches of
Let me be frank - gehry, married in mind
Tear me from the edge
The sign of the cross, the pledge
My allegiance is to mankind
Time served, my bittersweet verve
A reso, hooked on, tell-a phonic, symphony
Just mention me
To the gods when you pass
I grasp as straws elude my fingers
I gasp my last as the smoke lingers
Call me back from the front
I stunt not, I want not
I face not, I chase not a dream
But a memory
And, I will stand my ground
As the winds pass me around
Of change, of time

I'm dope and doped
Just to cope with the wisdom
That we are all alone
Comb my lines
In your free time
Try to remind yourself of what was
Through my filter, I give love
As I rise above and get past the past
If only it would last
My mast stands tall
I'm setting sail fast this fall

And that's all she said to him
The wind will never blow again
