Flobots - Wrestling Israel video free download

Who knew god cheats when he's wrestling

I wanna keep my confessions so I keep throwin' guesses at

Him like suggestions don't spar with him pressin' on me

His lessons trying to be where my best is and I

Keep throwing lefties till my right's are right

Where I left em out of reach of the people trying to get them

Don't do handouts; NAW I hand out concessions

Sayin' I ain't got nothing while my hands clutch my treasure

A measure of a man is kindness

Why do I preach to the choir and where ever my kind is

My eyes are on the side of minus

If my lifestyle takes from the other side, I'm fine with

Threats to my climate hang in the air like primates

I wanna be caesar need a planet need a

planet to rise with

My feet on the bodies

these streets are lined with

from many one the chosen ones

not anyone can rise here

[Hook (x2)]

Put the books away we fight today

And the fires burn a brighter day

There's a balm in Gilead

There's a bomb in Gilead

[Verse 2]

I was never one to wanna throw away the laws

More the one to wanna floor debate the flaws

Offer up amendments and coordinate the cause

And keep the faith that let the Lord escape the cross

Dear Gods, protect me from those who take you literally

Pause, bless each motivation that contols me please

forgive me for every time I didn't really reflect peace

or at least provide a bit of relief to those bitterly

burnt by your followers

Working for Haliburton or toting Excaliburs

Some of them know all the words but they're unaware

of the honorarium from Livin' on a Prayer

Sincerely John and Brer, we deliver hi (high with no cannibus)

P.S. we try to stay humble but we hope that you're a fan of us

If not we can adjust

pps my god, why have you abandoned us?

[Hook (x4)]

Put the books away we fight today

And the fires burns a brighter as day

There's a balm in Gilead

There's a bomb in Gilead

[Verse 3]

I try to walk the path of an ancient hemophiliac

Basilisk lizard while I'm standing on a lilypad

Retelling stories that are older than the iIlead

There is a balm, there is a bomb in Gilead

put a balm to the side and sides are healed

Put a bomb to the side insides are revealed

all this god talk rings hollow like a glockenspiel

No time for what might not be real

So whatever your tradition never stop wrestling

With precedent and privilege, never stop wrestling

With flags and divinity never stop wrestling

With love for your enemy never stop wrestling

With faith in community never stop wrestling

With every god you worship never stop wrestling

Trying to be perfect but love you are and divine

you true prupose

[Hook (x8)]

Put the books away we fight today

And the fires burns a brighter day

There's a balm in Gilead

There's a balm in Gilead
