Lyrics
Flood Red
You can say too much big bro
Spray the room and dig a big hole
And when they're coming back at you
You're hearing your own thunder they just stole
Flood Red you're at it again
So hard to defend you staking your claims
Flood Red get back on the train
These people aren't wed to your politics of shame
A generation have taken arms
Placards speak of social justice
While you and yours manipulate
You grab the land and burn off all the green
With folks like you it's total war
You call traitor and say his name
Hand on heart you evoke the nation
Even as you fracture and you blame
Your neck it flushes red with blood
You wave your fist and issue threats
This room of change you cannot read
The way it's going you're good as buried and dead
Blood ties are put to the test
Your vision and mine - they're not the same
