Wookiefoot - Backbone lyrics

The sun is shining on Egyptian tombs Casting shadows on roman ruins Pa**ing over a British crown over to western world The day has come around The sun is shining from east to west One empire watches it rise while the others watch it set Chosen people what they always feel inside But every king ruins everything with arrogance and pride The speaker cone's blown and it won't make a sound Voice drowned to the drone of the phones all around And all you're getting thrown are the bones on the ground While the free worlds backbone's owned by a clown The speaker cone's blown and it won't make a sound Voice drowned to the drone of the fear all around Play follow the leader to a hole in the ground While the chosen people watch the sun going down There's a story that I read back in history cla** About a great empire that grew up way too fast And everybody would admire their desire to Expand their land till they acquired the upper hand Masterminds' lust for glory left them blind And kindness would leave what was left of human kind Leading holy wars in the face of other nations Swinging holy swords with self-righteous indignation They alone knew what was right it was their turn under the sun 'Cause they were the chosen ones yes they were the chosen ones And as the civilized world capsized into demise surprise To see the hatred in the rest of the world's eyes Wait stop I don't want to read this story. It's cheesy The moral is way to obvious and the lesson's to easy So let me flip through this book for something that will teach me Crack my head open like a talk with Ken Keasey But page after page golden age to golden age It just keeps on revolving it's just one damn story Page after page, it's the wars that we wage It's the same revolution, it's the same fight for glory And the one thing nobody seems to understand Megan We can't wash the blood that we shed off our children's hands
