Flobots - Quarantine

[Verse 1: Brer Rabbit]
Circle up, circle up
Civil servant serpents
Peace we demanding to serve it up
Stirrups on our certainty
The tide will turn we're turning up
We're turning tides no turning us
The tide is high the term is up
And don't look now the surf is up
The surge is us
When the sickness is pervasive
'Cause I can see the sails of conquistadors and slave ships
The vectors lie adjacent
And spread by our complacence
Our media rephrases their pain as entertainment

Cuz fire and the flame is old claims exasperation
And by subtle name the slave is just an entertainer
And the field and stage are gauges of containment
The streets change to graves
When the titans clash
To reinstate their status
Hate us but no we're not stopping
Could not be flummoxed by lynch mob of hobgoblins
So bring your mastodons and man of wars
Dodge them like a matador
We at the door of corporate greed
We're calling up a quarantine
[Chorus: Brer Rabbit]
We need a quarantine
This ancient war machine is broken
We need a quarantine
This ancient war machine is broken

[Verse 2: Johnny 5]
This is live from the center of the hive
You left an open wound now we're spilling out the sides
The hornet and the wasps fly united in the storm
We'll look back on this moment as the moment we were born
Let it be known
Crush the demons of the past
We stand together now raise an army from the ash
We call upon whoever hears the message to react
Then all as one we smash the gears of death and push it back
Now if you only feel it one time
Bet you felt it now
Women children frontline platinum melt it down
Eyes dripping milk as they try to smoke us out
We can see the sunshine behind the funnel cloud
So heed the science
We are spiritually defiant
Seeking everything we've never had by severing compliance
Combine it in a heavenly alliance, reunited
No longer keeping silent
We've awoken sleeping giants

[Chorus x2]
