Flobots - "Same Thing" - Lyrics - J Weiner

Best Song From The Band Flobots. You Agree?


Lyrics:
Somewhere between prayer and revolution
between Jesus and Huey P. Newton
that's where you find Jonny 5 shoot shootin
water guns at the audience while ya scootin'
your gluteous max due to the fact that I'm tootin'
on the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin'
for the other team in the culture wars
so I stab the beast belly while the vulture roars


YO JOE!
let it blow with convulsive force
til walls fall off their false supports
til Jericho's aircraft carriers alter course
and all brave young Americans are called ashore
cause we've already lost the war they keep wagin
splattering the streets in battles that keep ragin
bloodyin each page of the story that we're studying
each day the same just the names keep changin

(Hook:)
saying the same things over again
repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been
We've been all over the globe on our government's funds
leavin man woman and child dead bloody and numb
saying the same things over again
repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been
we've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views
democratically elected but we didn't approve....

How many times can the line divide
how many wars to uphold some pride
fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide
of blood in the streets while the people die
Ima keep on tryin
longs as suffering's multiplyin
and why not
souls get tossed and left out to rot
my backs broad enough to help left your cross
as long as you help with mine
the process of healing will take some time
to see the pain on your face is the same as mine
not a game or a race but the stake is high
we maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides
as long as it takes I"ll say it one more time
as long as it takes I'll say it one more time
as long as it takes I'll say it one more time

Hook

we need money for healthcare and public welfare
free mumia and Leonard peltier
human needs not corporate greed
drop the debt and legalize weed
we say yes to grassroots organization
no to neoliberal globalization
bring the troops back to the USA
and shut down guantanamo Bay
the same things over again
my throat's so sore from shoutin no war for the soldiers again
lookin for cloud cover when the explosions begin
lookin the crowd over wonder if you where we've been
we've been all over the globe Iran to Nicaragua
guatamala Angola grenada
Dominican republic Haiti chile
It don't stop and it won't stop unless we keep say

Hook

Who let'em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz
Who let'em overthrow Mohammad Mosaddeq
Who let'em assassinate Salvador Allende
I didn't let them but they did it anyway
Who let'em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah
Who let'em overthrow Aristide
Who let'em assassinate Oscar Romero
I didn't let'em but they did indeed!

don't let them assassinate Hugo Chavez
don't let them assassinate Evo Morales
bring back Martin,, Malcolm, Medgar, Hampton, Goodman, Schwerner, Chaney

it's false hope. the rich stay rich because they spread this illusion that if we keep working hard enough one day we can be rich true.

flowbots are lyrical gods

@DesuDesuRampage Oh I get it! Your from Europe, where you don't have the option or notion of self defense. Imagine if the UK riots came to Finland and this thug with a Molotov cocktail would walk up to your house? What do you do? Cry for the police to save you as your house burns to the ground? Perhaps your mom didn't come out in time and is gone now? Because your government doesn't want you to protect your family and yourself. I threatened lostxtsol because he's that thug.

[DesuDesuRampage]

@TacticalCitySlicker Sorry but i couldnt give a shit,you acted like a hardass and i just joined in to mock you for being a "badass". I am on the side of no one,Socialist or Anarchist. You should not have said you would shoot him if you trespassed his property. And if someone said i was a moron for thinking the truth,i would most likely walk away thinking "What a douche".

[TacticalCitySlicker]

@DesuDesuRampage You've read perhaps maybe two of my comments and made up your mind halfway through the first one.

I am an Anarchist (no government), and proud of it! The guy I was arguing with was a socialist (total government), but claimed he was an Anarchist.

You're a Anime guy, imagine if some guy that draws Disney toons, and starts calling them Anime. Then he'd call you a moron for not knowing what anime is. How'd you feel?

[DesuDesuRampage]

@TacticalCitySlicker Yeah a "poet",i dont have an xbox. I have 6 books on the subject of firearms,i have interest in them.You should go whimper in a corner about how the "anarchists" are going to take over the world.Just how the fuck can retards like you breed,how the fuck is it legal to do that. My downs-syndrome ridden little friend,its written "Intelligence" and its a thing i own but you do not.Also we dont throw bricks or burn stores,we only say what we want to. Peace out Redneck

[TacticalCitySlicker]

@DesuDesuRampage OOooh "no bullet will pierce inteligence." Your such a poet, you'd best stick to that and not pretend you know more about firearms than your XBox tought you.

[DesuDesuRampage]

@TacticalCitySlicker Just,stop acting like a hardass. We all understand that your small dick will not cure itself but boasting at people who want change is just going to make you seem like a boasting cock-sucker,we have our opininions and you have most likely have a l AK-47/74 Full Metal Jacket. No life lost will make an opinion,no bullet will pierce intelligence.

[DesuDesuRampage]

@Placebo422 The proper noun is Flo (NO DOUBLE V) Bots

[lostxtsol]

@TacticalCitySlicker Finally, I dont think you would know individual liberty if you lost it. And thats the only thing sadder int his conversation than your entire part in it.

[lostxtsol]

@TacticalCitySlicker hahaha, your either a complete troll or the stupidest moron I have ever met.YourFail1, I recommend those books so you can stop sounding like an idiot when you argue things you obviously know nothing about. YourFail2, 5 of those are world renowned anarchist thinkers, two are communists. YourFail3, I said nothing about inspiration. YourFail4, Tyranny? My god your dumb. YourFail5, I dont burn stores or throw bricks so I have nothing to worry about.
