Lotus Lyrics & Chords By Cage The Elephant

Woke before the morning sun
I found it tucked beneath the hills
I sat and watched it rise
It hit the sky and burst to flames
The lotus flowers got me thinkin'
'Bout the way that we live
I got this feeling
It's gonna stop

Driven by religion, running backwards
Down a one-way road
A course collision, split decision
Tryin' to save your soul
Manifest destiny
Is just a fancy word for murder
I got this feeling
It's gonna stop

A billion faces running 'round my head
All got opinions but they don't mean shit
Keep dropping bombs until the whole world's dead
They'll say it's all been done and it's all been said

They'll turn this message into a pop movement
A fascist statement, call it politics
You can mark my words they'll put a spin on it
They'll say it's all been done

Look outside the box my friend
Your heart's been dead since who knows when
It seems we've missed the mark
Lost all hope and given in
Pack up the suitcase, take that
Handkerchief and wipe off your chin
The fear that drives you
Needs to be stopped

A billion faces running 'round my head
All got opinions but they don't mean shit
Keep dropping bombs until the whole world's dead
They'll say it's all been done and it's all been said

They'll turn our message into a pop movement
A fascist statement, call it politics
You can mark my words they'll put a spin on it
They'll say it's all been done

Fell into a daze and found
My mind was gone and laid to waste
A battle ground indeed
Where holy wars have taken place
I saw the sunset, watched it
Travel down and tear through the ground
The hate that drives us
Needs to be stopped
