Overthrow
From “Eastern Hymns for Western Shores”
[purchase]

All our pretty roads
Fairy tales and crowns
Broken on the floor

All our little words
Love and peace and love
Spoken with a sword

We say overthrow the government
Put a new one up instead

If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul

Tell me how it goes
The one about the war
The war that killed the king

Our hearts are still the same
Stone and ice and steel
Lifeless hollow things

You say overthrow the government
Who will save us from yourself

If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow yourself, yourself, yourself

Take me down and lock me up
You can’t change my head
You can’t change my heart

When this old life is done
Will we still be the stubborn souls
We always were

Today is our last chance
To turn around
To turn around
Yourself, yourself, yourself

If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow
If you can overthrow your soul
