Red Carpet And Rebellion

RED CARPET AND REBELLION

red carpet and rebellion
makes ya wonder at these established ones
they aint out to get ya
cause your a mile .. away

i heard a siren, a city warning , they said a new
dawn arrives in the morning .. so i wait out tonight
for the , the new sunrise
they laid me to rest with an an aberration
i woke up the living dead colossally mistaken
i ran through the streets and i broke down

there aint no money there aint no time
yeah im outta my mind dont wanna waste this away
i feel ashamed when i am and shamed when im not
the configuration of the american dream

the palace dialed in the streets were burning
the red horizon came crashing through the morning
there was no contentment only blood shed
red blood and social discontent bruised by puritan
oh puritan exempt its like a peasant uprising

st petersburg, 1905
father garpan led the protest .. up inside .. up inside
we are gone we are gone we are gone

ill run a mile till i find a hung jury
where there is red carpet there is rebellion
red carpet and rebellion
makes ya wonder why they smell so bad
they aint out to get ya cause your a mile away
