Rico Sisney - Zoot Suits lyrics

[Hook 1] Can we get it right? Right right right right right! Can we get it right? Right right right right right! I'm trying to get it right! Right right right right right! Can we get it right? Right right right right right! [Hook 2] From a city with big shoulders like zoot suits Where they k** time like Zeus do And they get stoned--Medusa view We ain't got no use for you! Ain't just gang bangers that shoot shoot It's the same thing they do to schools! They ain't got no use for youth! We ain't got no use for you! [Verse 1] See there's no great distinction between an endangered species And one that's finally faced extinction The change could sneak in in an hour or a minute or a second Numbers lessen ‘till we're left with only records History lessons for who's next in the procession The question of reception is the real one Will we ignore the warning signs until we're done? Fear mongerers they will come, but we're so fearsome and fierce we fear none! Bda bda! Get ya top chopped. Mr. White knock knock This feels like a mob plot: everybody knocked off Das Schloss Is this Kafka? It will not stop ‘till fat lady with a sawed off shoots up opera Preserve the picture (moth balls for a Bob Ross) Perfect contradiction (hot sauce on my foie gras) Weather worse in winter (drop boxes where cars park) Summer pop pop to show they not soft it's not solved [Hook 1] [Verse 2] Dear God, I know you can take us in an instant How many times you gotta show me till i get it? I was pissed off cuz I had just missed my flight Then I watched a man lose his life And the timing forced me to witness We were both in line just trying to get a ticket He collapsed right behind me but I couldn't even hear it and even though he hit my leg, I ain't move at first. I could barely feel it. I turned around-- tried to help him Somebody said, “Don't get near him!” I stood as the men and women (one dentist one pediatrician and several medical professionals) came out of the trenches to fix him The defibrillators narration appeared as if it could save him They listened and obeyed it Put Faith in but he ain't make it What I'm gauging from the situation... There's no real reason for him to die and for me to stay here So I should trust you the way they trusted that machine Be patient and every moment I have to do your bidding is sacred So I'll be grateful Thinking, “how far do i wanna run?” Shedding ego and negative thoughts cuz they cumbersome I gotta focus nonstop if i want it done Can't waste time I tore the watch off my cummerbund Where I'm coming from they got [Hook 2] [Hook 1] One day we'll get it right...
