Pressing all the buttons
I searched but did not find
Looking for the one to take us back
To start the big unwind
The Wide World of Sports
Taught us all about it on the TV
Choose the agony of defeat
Or suffer the thrill of victory
I sent a message to the future
Through a corporate platform
And got back no answer
They said my cover had been blown
The path of escape is stained
With the blood of the innocent
Born between the piss and shit
Some of us are regretting it
Take it down or leave it up
Even a blind man can see
Who here among us
Is escaping from gravity?
Walking and talking
About the times that we all know
Change is in the air
And in the water of the undertow
Whitey is annoyed
By the color of the Play Doh
Believe the Big Lie
Go directly to jail, do not pass Go
I yelled my message to the future
Through tiny megaphone
And never got back an answer
Since the day that I was born
Wash your hands in the blood
Of the saints and Indigenous
Who will save our souls now?
This is getting ridiculous
Take it down or leave it up
Even a poor blind man can see
Who here among us
Is escaping from gravity?
You touched me with your eyes
Caressed me with your voice
It was then my darling
I knew I had no choice
I wanted you
And you said you wanted me
Why can't the whole damn world
Let us be
Take it down or leave it up
Even a poor blind man can see
Who here among us
Is escaping from gravity?
