The Brave Optimistic - The Peace Prize (Roosevelt FTW) lyrics

[Verse 1] Soldier, teach me how to sleep Surgeon, how do you still weep And how do blissful plutocrats forget their dreams I wanna know [Chorus 1] Oh Teddy, history it smiles upon The hawks for all their mercy One rabbit in a hole still left alive Now evil men like you may know It's safe to bring their misery Your holy face upon a mountainside [Verse 2] Giants love the six-foot, bigfoot, meant to do good laws They clear out all the paths they love to cross And leave all of us little men with more land lost I wanna run Sinners write the holy books They turn their deepest scars into a noose And hang up men as effigies that share their wounds I wanna live [Chorus 2] History it smiles upon The fools for all their knowledge Their simply ordinary prose make sense While men who dig down in the dirt To solve our greatest mysteries They know it's wise to speak softly without a stick [Bridge] Drum those drums of war with the people on your side And sing their songs of peace when their consciousness revives [Chorus 3] Oh Teddy, history it smiles upon The hawks for all their mercy One rabbit in a hole still left alive Now evil men like you may know It's safe to bring their misery Your holy face upon a mountainside Soldier...
