Mayday!!! Lyrics[Intro] Born in the flood, bloody fingerpaint sets Black marketed, fresh water cannons forget me not Epitaph airbrushed with death White tees, wife beaters Button up, reattach flesh! [Verse 1: Jonny 5 and (Brer Rabbit)] In between the lines (In between the lines) Outside of the law (Outside of the law) Underneath the veil (Underneath the veil) We dig our foundations (We navigate the globe) Trying to find a pattern to break the mold (Pattern to break the mold) With a family to feed (Family to feed) There's nowhere we won't go But what if we're caught They say I'm a snitch Shot at the checkpoint Found with his throat slit There's spray paint on the teleprompter Anchorman screams that he's seen a monster (Mayday) There's bloodstains on his shirt (Mayday) They say that he's gone berserk! [Verse 2] Sometimes when I wanna shut out this world Want to rip up this page Want to pour out this heart Want to get up on this stage And my lips become percussion And my fists become the rage And I pound on this table 'Til it gives me something to say Then I think about things that I've seen Right in front of me that I don't wanna believe Gimme one of these mics Let me let 'em know: the way that It is is not how it's gonna be Not if we don't let 'em get ahead of us The present tension's no threat It's just a fence across the path That we're already ready to walk Rock solid footsteps Let 'em put up obstacles And prove that it isn't possible Fuck that! We don't give 'em any weight True liberty and freedom's at stake Peace will never become passé Live my life until my last day It was half-past eight in the Bat Cave When the cracks in the plaster Collapsed and gave way to gaps in the pavement (Mayday, mayday) Put it on blast For the passengers and messengers Cause this is a disaster Where the fuck are the rescue workers? Not far, off pissing on a cop car In the hall with a Pop Tart Sipping liquor in the rock bar Everyone climb to the frontline, lunchtime's cancelled All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill Onlookers, passers-by, brush off your shoulders Shake off that rubble, break free from your standstill [Hook 1] Signs of a better world, causes we understand Failures we expected to occur and bring redemption for our sins Safety from the crowds In the shadows on the run, we write our own Cider House Rules to keep alive Rituals that prove their worth Search for systems we can trust Rhythms we can lock into [Verse 3: Brer Rabbit] This is madness, salvage teams can't bandage Hope when it's damaged or broken compassion There's not enough rope in the van When the world is collapsin', our mode of action Broadcast through the glass, all we can manage Donate with the plastic scrapped from the salad Hopin' to balance, emotions invalidated Staged on four-to-three aspects Just ballast for sadness Lives shattered are standard fare for Cameras and channels stare no abracadabras No faster answers or mantras for disasters Remastered or plastered We got it all backwards Do you know the faction you're backin'? It's another man down, another mother gone Child drowned, another silent song Solitude, another kind of strong I miss you, another strung along Missing in action Another page is blackened Burned, turned, ashes to ashes Dust off the flags and the caskets [Hook 2] We will never find another you Despite the life of love we knew These lightning times are trouble, who Can count the strikes that punish through? The bonds we thought would never break And never will, and never change And never fade, but there's the rage Of losing you to their mistakes! [Verse 4: (Jonny 5) and Brer Rabbit] (In between the lines) Signs of the next movement (Refuge from the crowd) Outside of the law (Causes we understand) Hands that trace Instructions for descendants in the Shadows on the run (Underneath the veil) Failures we expected to occur And bring redemption for our sins (In between the lines) In between the lines [Outro] In between the lines, outside of the law Underneath the veil In between the lines, outside of the law Underneath the veil In between the lines, outside of the law Underneath the veil, we carve our foundations In between the lines, outside of the law In between the lines3
