Maybe this time

We’ll open our eyes

Roll in like an alligator

Sink in our bite

Oh

Tell me where you want me to be

Tell me what you want and you need

(they’re saying)

You can tell me

In the daylight

We try and we hide

Runnin’ like an elephant’s

Fallin’ from the sky

Tell me where you want me to be

Tell me what you want and you need

(they’re saying)

You can tell me

You can tell me

You can tеll me

Alright

Cuz anytime the night falls

Opеrators will swoop into the aisles

And take what everyone wants

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?

Somehow they keep it runnin’

Without the love

Overcalculated villains

They’re tyin’ up

What everyone wants

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?

Maybe this time

There’s no next time

Runnin’ while the helicopter’s

Flyin’ right by

Just tell me where you want me to be

Tell me what you want and you need

(they’re saying)

You can tell me

Sundown to sunrise

We see the antithesis

Playin’ like they’re innocent

Tryin’ to divide

Sayin’

Tell me where you want me to be

Tell me what you want and you need

(they’re saying)

You can tell me

Cuz anytime the night falls

Operators will swoop into the aisles

And take what everyone wants

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?

Somehow they keep it runnin’

Without the love

Overcalculated villains

They’re tyin’ up

What everyone wants

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?

Brings love down

I don’t wanna be the one

That brings love down...

I don’t ever wanna slow down

Not right now

Tear gas and it’s hard to digest

The whole city in a mode of crisis

Ran four blocks, better catch my breath

Then one-two-step with a left-right-left

Chin up and a long mile

Big badge and a false smile

The right food but the wrong aisle

Zeitgeist in a dogpile

Let’s pause for a moment of silence

Peace goin’ up but they call it a riot

“Please stay calm, it’s a moderate process”

To bite my tongue – not a part of my conscience

The credible risk of

Becoming a suspect

A crumbling halo

I’m back at the front door

Eye to the peephole

Ordered to stay home

Cuz anytime the night falls

Operators will swoop into the aisles

And take what everyone wants

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?

Somehow they keep it runnin’

Without the love

Over calculated villains

They’re tyin’ up

What everyone wants

What do they want and

Who are they trying to please?
