Whittled me down til I was kindling for the fire
cause I mightve found out for myself in a while
Round and round it goes
Soon it comes to blows
School house crushed the kid
Snuff his will to flower
But now that the answer has
Been offered oh so eloquently
Pummeled you hard til you began to settle in
By the end of the day even they took you as one of them
Round and round it goes
Soon it comes to blows
You know in the streets below the
High rise is the ghetto
Now that the answer has
Been offered oh so eloquently
Speaker of the house Ill never be as powerful as you
As Ive only known the humble work that which these hands can do
Soon it comes to blows
In this moment fragile
Unearthing wade and roe while in
The inner city its a battle
Creation myth and gun control
Are all up for grabs and on the mantel
It hits a little too close to home for most
I cant turn it around but I can turn the channel
Now that the answer has
Been offered oh so eloquently
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh think Ill just drift away slowly
Oh think Ill just drift away slowly
Oh think Ill just drift away slowly
Oh think Ill just drift away slowly
Think Ill just drift away slowly
Think Ill just drift away slowly
Think Ill just drift away slowly
Ah
