THE RESISTANCE
when waking up just don’t come easy
getting up, getting down, getting tired
shut the door ‘cuz i think i’m catching cold.
oh.
shaky head, shaky hands, and shaky feet.
getting up, getting wood for the fire.
shut the door ‘cuz i feel i’m getting old.
Laocoön, a sun comes up with a golden glow.
Heave Ho.
Laocoön, a sun caught up in the undertow, but hey
Heave Ho.
I heard myself on the radio.
Heave Ho.
Laocoön, no one knows if we’re ever gonna glow, but hey
breaking in, breaking up, and breaking beats
breaking rules just to start up a fire
letting loose and i think i’m letting go.
oh.
saying yes, saying yes, and saying no.
first i do then i don’t
i’m a liar
make it stop ‘cuz i think it’s getting old
Laocoön, a son comes up with a golden glow.
Heave Ho.
Laocoön, a son caught up in the undertow, but hey
Heave Ho.
I heard myself on the radio.
Heave Ho.
Laocoön, no one knows if we’re ever gonna blow, but hey
Remember that you are here for the rest of your life.
Laocoön and his two sons.
Gifts make slaves as whips make dogs.
Gifts make slaves as whips make dogs.
