letra de new years eve - jakob kupferberg

Loading...

[verse 1]
so i’m standing at the threshold of civilization
surrounded by kids shouting at every tv station
whose side are you on, whose side are you on?
it’s not easy to pick a side when you don’t know where you belong

so the mass market media is eating ya
it’s twisting your conceptions, like a phantom machine feeding ya
you want to tear away the yellow tape and run away
but you don’t, cause you can’t make a clean get away

so you look up at the sky and consider your choices
like a dead radio wave just filled up with noises
a clear channel is paving the way
for a brighter day – so they say

3 more days it’s new years eve
another window to just get up and leave
i lived my days, now i spit it out
while you’re on the band wagon
making corporate shout outs

like you made your choice – you’re with the man
he sells your voice – you tell your fans
to ride the wave of hype of lies
and make sure that it’s televised
[chorus 1]
let go let go she said
and let your soul flow with the trail of the dead
but you can’t allow that to happen
so you reached for your strongest weapon

your voice
your voice

[verse 2]
words letters criteria – like mass injustice hysteria
i reckon you feel it’s presence among you
giving you a certain sense to belong to

i made my choices now i give it up
like a baseball match that just never stops
shooting scores on hollywood billboards
just a gang of boys – walking around on all fours

so the time has come to come around
as we’re travelling to the speed of sound
we revel the brightest on untouched ground
our hearts beating – to every verb and noun

and now as the lost roam about
you will plant your seeds in this place and get out
cause women are women and men are men
and you don’t have to get along with all of them
so stand up – get out – dig in he said
and let your gun point towards the trail of the feds
cause no one gets it when they’re on parole
so just stand up and
deliver your soul

[chorus 2]
let go let go she said
and let your soul flow with the trail of the dead
but you can’t allow that to happen
so you reached for your strongest weapon

your voice
your voice

[bridge]
a childhood of trauma would lay the brick foundation
like a hospital bed with eternally ill patients
we are thrown into the fight like a baseball pitcher
are you beginning to see the perfect frame picture?

see i got a way with words – ha ha!
like you got away with weed
so in this facebook fungus
imma let you try my seed
yes our winters went wild
as we waited for the sun
but nothing could prepare us
for what we would become

[chorus 3]
let go let go she said
and let your soul flow with the trail of the dead
but you can’t allow that to happen
so you reached for your strongest weapon

your voice

let go, let go (let go, let go)
let go and you will know (let go, let go)
how a voice on new years eve
can make the darkest cynic believe
there is hope
there is
hope

[outro]
so i’m gonna pack my bags and leave
and watch your fire spread
among the dead ash and leaves
as long as these hands are free from chains
this poetry i will inject into my veins
