lyrics

Brother was the first of his kind
Never sat down, never knew why
But all these people coming inside
Would much rather acquiesce than kick, spit, and bite

But I’m gonna take back religion
And I’m gonna take back your gods
And I’m gonna burn down the courts and their conscience
Unless justice is brought back into law


Oh! That you found me free from man and scripture
Let me be cast out to the cold

Give me back Franklin, Simone, and a cut-time culture
bring back the poetry and soul


There were hooks caught in his sides
Wouldn’t talk to many but he could confide
In the stars that would slowly unwind
Cross the sands of the cape they stray listening, blind


But I’m gonna take back religion
And I’m gonna take back your gods
And I’m gonna burn down the courts and their conscience
Unless justice is brought back into law

Oh! That you found me free from man and scripture
Let me be cast out to the cold

Give me back Franklin, Simone, and a cut-time culture
bring back the poetry and soul

And they said take care, lest you misunderstand
For answers come best when they’re found hand in hand
when the choices we make we don’t make for ourselves
Tame that fire inside, see it straight, sound the bells


Oh! That you found me free from man and scripture
Let me be cast out to the cold

Give me back Franklin, Simone, and a cut-time culture
bring back the poetry and soul

Cause I lost my feeling, my sight, my touch, my hearing
Don’t let it be loveless anymore

Let me see riot, let me see indignation
Something that I saw once before
