Flobots - Sides video free download

This is more than an idea

Show me all of who you are

A voice from the wilderness detroit to port au prince

Building a movement from the basic ingredients

Immediate responses leave reactions to the chemicals

Screaming compassion from the traction of our tennis shoes

boot academics trapped in academies

Who don't renew movement or produce strategies

orphans of the datastream emptiness we had our fill

Building resistances to opiates and imbeciles

I hate to take a side, I've gotta take a side

When it's time to take a side, stand up for what is right

Or should I say left cause that's usually where I find myself aligned

for the future that we're trying for

Slogan on my signboard, look across the line

You're tired

you're scared

you're working overtime

war fatigues

christ lord

another giant's born

Midwived by the phantoms that i'm crying for

Show em how the west is...

1 for my dreams

2 for my doubts

3 for the people that've been left out

4 for the love that can save us

5 for the names on the graves Troy Davis

6 for the pain

7 for the patience

8 for the strains of the tough conversations

9 for the kids on the front lawn racing to

10 for the joy that can never be taken

For all the why have you forsaken

The times I've mistaken the side that I'm taking

In the life that i'm making

For the misses demonstrations the times i lacked patience

Silenced while violence played favorites

compliant scrolled huffpo like Torah

and still didn't show up

When justice hit the streets and definitions didn't hold-up

of why we are divided

the reason why we're fighting

of what a human life is

or what the meaning of a side is

I can't tell you where to go

You are never on your own

we'll live on when we are gone

we'll be everywhere at once
