Ought - Disgraced in America Lyrics

Birds fly around while the dividends pay
Birds fly around while I'm picking up change
Crapping out tokens and living in haze
Build lights in the dungeons and plumbing in the graves
Something was in concert, some song was played
But nothing was delivered and a franchise was made
And what if I told you, what if I said
They built it themselves and it feels so good?

I’ll believe it when you take me

I floated round downtown, floated round spain
I was like a dentist rooting for pain
Cover me in blankets, cover me in paint
I’ll dance like a child again, I’ll die like a marine
No not that refrain again, I’m stuck in the same dream
What a blessing
What a blessing, what an imitation
What a blessing, what an imitation

I can't be here when you take me

Here comes the saint in the red again
Dipped em in paint and then spread it thin
And I was disgraced in America
Yeah I was disgraced in America
What if I told you, what if I said
I built it myself and it feels so good?

I won’t be here when you take me

Birds fly around while the dividends pay
Birds fly around while I'm picking up change
And I’m feeling hazy

Demarcation, demarcation
See those lines in the light
Demarcation wears me thin
Demarcation does me in

Demarcation’s one note plays
These wings I’ve made won’t hold me, paper thin
Demarcation, Demarcation
See those lines in the light
