Mixed Blood Majority - Every Lesson Unlearned lyrics

[Verse 1: Joe Horton] Is this a fortress or a jail cell? Drag the warden out One more bag of skin on the pile with a gaping orphan mouth Lookie here little birdy regurgitating it hurts me There's certain pains I'll endure, but you gotta pay me first So says the older of the satirist twins Swinging a twig with a padawan twitch Saddled with nerves at what lurks under murky surfaces The mystery's king If you didn't ask a question why you kissing the ring? Huh? Soft shoeing, gun clapping, that's the same dance Festooned the exit wound with j**els to get you lined up Don't look like you mind much Cueing for the crosshair It's not fair But only thumb s**ing b**hes and punks duck So says the younger Punch drunk and crazed from the hunger pain Undercame his dumb luck with novocaine and sugar pills Took a real man to admit he wasn't real Now he knows just how his brother feels [Crescent Moon] Run while you still can Walk while you still stand They'll have us down on all fours We fall for the bills and The pills and the thrills and the mansion on the hills and The shallow end is deep Ain't no telling where we will land Keep your fire light low Otherwise they might know our whereabouts and whereabout we find our inner light so the night cold Best watch your step upon the tight rope If one falls, we all fall No lifeboat, no white horse to ride off in the sunset Happily ever after They ain't never changed the script They're just casting better actors (Hope you're ready for your close-up) Hold up a minute, don't be acting all surprised when they roll up in tinted windows asking for your identification (Why spend your time chasing peace?) With eyes in the sky, vacant Lost my patience for every operation concerned With force-feeding information in the face of every lesson unlearned [Chorus] Every lesson unlearned No stone unturned Long as the sun burns Long as the sun burns
