Cage The Elephant - Lotus

Woke before the mornig sun, I found it tucked beneath the hills
I sat and watched it rise, it hit the sky and burst to flames
The lotus flower's, got me thinkin' 'bout the way that we live
I've got this feelin', it's gonna stop

Driven by religion, running backwards down a one way road
A course collision, split decision, tryin' to save your soul
Manifest Destiny, is just a fancy word for murder
I've got this feelin', it's gonna stop

A billion faces runnin' round my head
All got opinions byt they don't mean
Keep droppin' bombs until the whole world's dead
They said it's all been done and it's all been said
They'll turn this message into a pop movement
A fashion statement, call it politics
You can mark my words, they'll put a spin on it
They say it's all been done Look outside the box, my friend, your heart's been dead since who knows when
It seems we've missed the mark, lost all hope and given in
Pack up the suitcase, take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin
The fear that drives you, needs to be stop

A billion faces runnin' round my head
All got opinions byt they don't mean
Keep droppin' bombs until the whole world's dead
They said it's all been done and it's all been said
They'll turn this message into a pop movement
A fashion statement, call it politics
You can mark my words, they'll put a spin on it
They say it's all been done

Fell into a daze and found my mind was gone and laid to waste
A battleground indeed, where holy wars have taken place
I saw the sun set watched it travel down and tear through the ground
The hate that drives us, needs to be stop
