The Red Paintings- Sing (lyrics)

there is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch
back in the day it just went without saying at all

all the worlds history, gradually dying of shock
there is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk

you
sing
you
sing

sing for the bartender, sing for the janitor , sing
sing for the cameras, sing for the animals, sing
sing for the children, shooting the children, sing
sing for the teachers who told you couldn't sing

just
sing

there is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked
it is called fear and its seeing a great renaissance
after the show you can not sing wherever you want
but for now lets just pretend we're all gonna get found

so sing

sing 'cause it's obvious, sing for the astronauts, sing
sing for the president, sing for the terrorist, sing
sing for the brigadiers, sing for the painters, yeah, sing
sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing

just sing

life is no cabaret
we'd don't care what you say
we're inviting you anyway

you mother fuckers, you sing something
you mother fuckers you sing something

and i miss you
you seem so far away
want to hold you, in my...
