Duck And Cover

 

Words & Music by Sule M. Heitner

 

Somebody built this wall

With Politics, Priests and mortal silence.

And no one fuses these things together,

No one sees the violence.

I tried to tell the story how

Do I flip back and get back to the beginning.

The words are bombed up on the wall

I tied a rock and then went swimming.

The light don’t come down here

It shines bright up on the surface.

The light don’t shine down here,

And the darkness makes me nervous.

Duck and cover

Brace for impact

Bullets and Lovers

No, This ain’t living.

Can I run and hide,

Stay inside my mind,

Live on anger and pride

No, This ain’t living.

Everyone built this wall

The stupid, careless, senseless violent.

And no one puts two and two together,

Nobody breaks the silence.

I tried to warn my family ‘bout this.

But they could not hear the Sound.

Of a hundred million voice chorus,

So the Sound went underground.

And the light don’t come down here

It shines bright up on the surface.

The light don’t shine down here,

And the darkness makes me nervous.

Duck and cover

Brace for impact

Bullets and lovers

No, This ain’t living.

Can I run and hide,

Stay inside my mind,

Live on anger and pride

No, This ain’t living.

 

Do you remember the fall, do you recall

Do you ever think about the voiceless un-people at all

If you define the time you’d see I’m a gold mine.

Everybody’s trying to find some place of kind,

But it seems that we be falling behind.

Don’t check the map, don’t read the sign.

Pour a little bit more wine and just recline.

Don’t live and give feel free and take what is mine.

But there’s a cost, you will get lost,

And you’ll recognize the boss up on high.

You only have until the day that you die.

Duck and cover

Brace for impact

Bullets and lovers

No, This ain’t living.

Can I run and hide,

Stay inside my mind,

Live on anger and pride

No, This ain’t living.

No, This ain’t living.  No, This ain’t living.

No, This ain’t living.  No, This ain’t living.
