“Reckoning”
Cabinet of Curiosities: Pack I
The moment of reckoning
Has finally come
So run rabbit run
Run rabbit run
They keep telling us girls
Should just wanna have fun
Just wanna have fun
Just wanna have fun
So go do as you’re told now
And put down your guns
Put down your guns
I said put down your guns
‘Cause nothing new ain’t gonna happen here
Under the sun
Not under the sun
Under the sun
But I don’t move
None of us do
We block our ears with wax
Lash ourselves to the mast
And keep on
Hallelujah
We keep on
There’s a man with a plan
And a mic in his hands
Hail to the chief
Hail to the chief
There’s a boy whose ribs
Are poking through his skin
But that bread isn’t his
So string up the thief
Do it in public so they know
Whose running the show
Get it all on TV
Get it all on the live feed
But there’s someone in the way
And that someone is me
That someone is you
And these someones are free
So I don’t move
None of us do
We block our ears with wax
Lash ourselves to the mast
And keep on Hallelujah
We keep on
Beaten but not broken
On your feet men
And women
And everybody else too
With your heads held high
It’s do or die trying
Raise your fists to the sky
Don’t let this all be for nothing
Like the man sang
We got to all come together now
We hold these truths to be
Self-evident
And we won’t let the bastards
Get us down
We keep on
Hallelujah
We keep on
And on
