Red Dress
Lyricist:Babatunde O Adebimpe, Jaleel Bunton, Kyp Malone, David Sitek, Gerard A Smith
Hey jackboot, fuck your war 'cause I'm fat and in love And no bombs are fallin' on me for sure But I'm scared to death that I'm livin' a life not worth dying for
And your plowshare, it's a sword And it's wide arcing swing chops the heads off of many things Mono crops, laughter roars, oh high hilarity, oh muck bury me Oh standard bearer carry me burnin' home from another tour
Go ahead put your red dress on Days of white robes have come and gone, come and gone Oh you rivers, oh you waters run Come bear witness to 'Whore of Babylon'
Hey slave they called and we caved, we answered To a new name, shout it loud, shout it lame, but blackface it You're such a good dancer, oh you're a star, you're carnival
Jacaranda petals fall, mixed with the blood of the saints Shot down in the square, don't track it in on the soles of your shoes When you're dragged into the back of this car Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Go ahead put your red dress on Days of white robes have come and gone, come and gone Oh you rivers, oh you waters run Come bear witness to 'Whore of Babylon'
It's a trap that much is plain Still maybe send snapshots of all your sweet pain Playin' tortuous games it goes lens, light, fame
Read my names on your lips when the man cracks the whip And you'll all shake your hips And you'll all dance to this without making a fist
And I know that it sounds mundane but it's a stone cold shame How they got you tame and they got me tame
Go ahead put your red dress on Days of white robes have come and gone, come and gone Oh you rivers, oh you waters run Come bear witness to 'Whore of Babylon'
