No Bird Sing - Flag Waver lyrics

[Verse 1: Joe Horton:] Sparkling diplomat ‘ Fantastical f** you Pa**ive attack, tactical glove slap for the gun duel Frantic fool flips static channels for facts that he can handle Like love taps to the chin, it's understandable Back when he was trafficking in Africans Guilt crept into his abdomen and grew He named it Lucifer Velvet fist shatters his gla** mandible With one elegant thrust, a fancy uniform, and a tuning fork [Chorus: Joe Horton:] In his neighborhood explosions in the sky Only happen in July instead of every single day He keeps repeating his allegiance to the sequence Even after all the colors fade back to smoky gray They don't hide it ‘ They put it right in his face They don't hide it ‘ They put it right in his face They don't hide it ‘ They put it right in his face until he likes it Control is a helluva drug [Verse 2: Joe Horton:] Nobody does it better than us Chatter in the dust ‘ Malignant patterns re-imagined as trust Ignorance ‘ Too much information Freedom under influence ‘ God over a blissful nation Modern convenient come anemic, there's no secret We're leeching the ecosystem, addicted to cheap excess I'm not a misanthrope, some people just don't listen close Definition sickness, sh**'ll slit your throat Comb the coastline, with no sign of the ocean Tide's coming, hit your pose swimmer ‘ Hold it Only the chosen got enough rope to dip their toes in Castaways bake in the sun, chained to their own sweat Exchange platitude ‘ Pray for the flood Fake gratitude ‘ Same as it was Save some shame for the next generation All bite and no bark ‘ Nothing more sacred than our taste for blood [Chorus: Joe Horton:] In our neighborhood explosions in the sky Only happen in July instead of every single day And I remain forever debted to the favor So unless I'm singing praise there's not a thing that I can say They don't hide it ‘ They put it right in my face They don't hide it ‘ They put it right in my face They don't hide it ‘ They put it right in my face until I like it Control is a helluva drug
