Baptized In The Rio Grande lyrics

Way down Bred by bloodsuckers And dying trees that scream "You'll never see past scrutiny.” Way down Absorb the sun Radiate then peel away Way down Concrete flows like water It don't falter To manifest jungles of steel Born and raised In the bowels of the states Where glory days And doom are hand in hand When I've lost my way All I need, is within me Born and raised Baptized in the rio grande Weighed down Hope holds no water We don't bother to Feed the seed within our hearts Weighed down By blood, lies, pride and politics We are weighed down Lest we become fruitless Lest we don't succeed Anchored in complacence We forever sink
