Ought
Disgraced in America
[Verse 1]
Birds fly around while the dividends pay
Birds fly around while I'm picking up change
Crapping out tokens and living in a haze
Build lights in the dungeons and plumbing in the graves
Something was in concert, some song was played
But nothing was delivered and a franchise was made
And what if I told you, what if I said
They built it themselves and it feels so good
[Refrain]
Well I'll believe it when you take me in
[Verse 2]
I Floated around downtown, I floated around Spain
I was like a dentist, rooting for pain
Cover me in blankets, cover me in paint
I'll dance like a child again, I'll die like a marine
No not that refrain again, I'm stuck in the same dream
What a blessing
What a blessing, what an imitation
What a blessing, what an imitation
[Refrain]
Well, I can't be there when you take me in
[Verse 3]
Here comes the saint in the red again
A dictum in paint till I scrub them
I was disgraced in America
Yeah, I was disgraced in America
And what if I told you, what if I said
I build it myself and it feels so good
[Refrain]
But I can't be here while it takes me in, in
[Verse 4]
Birds fly around while the dividends pay
Birds fly around while i'm picking up change
And i'm feeling hazy
[Outro]
Demarcation, demarcation
See those lines interrupt
Demarcation wears me thin
Demarcation does me in
Demarcation's one note plays
Rings I've made won't hold me
Paper thin
Demarcation, demarcation
See those lines in the light
