New Cannonball Blues — Tv On the Radio

Hey girls, hey boys no don't mind the noise It's just the sound of being dragged ahead

It's just a pornographic annulationship As we watch the spider's web eat itself

All this death above extinguishing All that you've ever known

Turn your touch screens off and start harvesting The seeds that your parents sew

It's got me singing blues that hit you like a cannonball Loud enough to break your bones But it was written in blood before they wrote it in stone So, sing it with me like it's your own

You're gettin' bothered staying low like under four hundred blows Makes you feel like you are all by yourself

So when the chance comes along like where you could help right a wrong The bullshit's got you stuck up on the shelf

"But it's heavy" "I'm not ready" Do you feel like you're swimming in the notes?

But baby, follow the sound That's shooting out of your crown There's only one way up from the floor

It's got me fucked up and dried up and fed up can't get up And bleeding and crying like I'm mad at the soul

"I'm a carbon copy Now they got me" Up oh look at where we're going

It's got you strung out and bothered and caught up And drowning and feeling and shot up And feeling you gotta run

You're a carbon copy Now they got me Up oh look at where we're going

Now gonna kick toe Gonna run right forward Lord not the first time we've imposed a locked door Oh critter fight back it's your sole reward Below with your fist up Brush the dust off Boy, it's got got it's got me singing

Blues that hit you like a cannonball Loud enough to break your bones But it was written in blood before they wrote it in stone So sing it with me like it's your own

Those blues they hit you like a cannonball Loud enough to break your bones

But wish the rising in love before we're taking the throne So sing it with me like it's your own You better dust off and get up, get ready to push up Hey baby get ready 'cause yea yea it's gonna come

If we want to see what's possible for a, a better way right now You better dust off and get up, get ready to push up Hey baby get ready 'cause yea yea it's gonna come

When the truth is spoken Love's unbroken Nothing's gonna weigh us down
