The Penultimate Year 歌词

For the pipe dreams of the luminous and eloquent Shunned to elucidate ostentatious temperament We’ve got to draw the line To ostracise the talented from the contrived For a gentlemen, soaked to bone in gin, Doing anything to leave that void he’s in While the born writers craft with pen and a page The charlatans preach behind a mic on a stage I won’t pick to pieces what I don’t understand But I know that no power nor pride makes a man Forfeit conjecture, relinquish your fear Stand alone in the penultimate year Fear draws near, always weighing us down To a family underground, an airloom stands proud 'Cause he's not so much his fathers son More a product of his fathers battles won Of the blood, sweat, tears, tried and true all these years Through a bloodline ripe with musical pioneers, Unsung. Unsung! I won’t pick to pieces what I don’t understand But I know that no power nor pride makes a man Forfeit conjecture, relinquish your fear Stand alone in the penultimate year My heart is heavy, burdened with the weight Of good men and women who could’ve been great A moment in it’s radiance will change your mind And an hour will change your life Wake up take a chance, Take step out your door Fuck the money, fuck the fame Know we can still change this world Fuck the cardinal charlatans Pull on that thread Until the bigotry unravels and reveals amends Fuck it! Wake up now, ha Take a step out your door Wake up ha, now Take a step out your door
