[00:00.93] Flobots - Whip$ and Chain$
[00:09.77] Strange fruit I roll up in my ford taurus
[00:11.83] Emissions I wont pass like Gandalf at Moria
[00:14.02] Way out of order
[00:15.08] Sedan with four doors
[00:16.08] Pull out garage and lost side view mirror
[00:18.39] My credit card final fantasy breaks the limit
[00:20.52] I just paid just brakes to break my lemon
[00:22.58] Wont make enough juice for my pessimism
[00:24.64] So I'm not for given 'till my debts forgiven
[00:26.95] Skim off the top
[00:28.27] Convertible roofs
[00:29.27] Thinking spanish
[00:30.02] Green sounds like the truth
[00:31.64] Got it on lock jaw to the tip o' the tooth
[00:34.39] Way I floss no dental insurance to boot
[00:36.14] But my chain hangs low' I could double dutch
[00:38.39] Keep my eyes to the floor so don't stumble much
[00:40.70] I shine at night from all the carrots
[00:42.83] 'Cause it's not who you are but who you're wearing
[00:45.20] Stay sportin lashes from the old massa's
[00:47.77] And whats under the chassis
[00:49.45] Clasps on the neck says
[00:52.39] 'Property of the masses'
[00:54.70] The block is gentrified while the governor's classic
[00:56.71] Don't know who the boss is do I hold the power
[00:58.52] Or am I powered like horses
[00:59.83] Whip is blowin' out my back like I'm exhaust-ed
[01:01.95] Pipes blowin' more fire than pentecost
[01:03.89] Who killed o?
[01:05.64] Why and what's the reason for?
[01:08.27] Who starts homicidal wars?
[01:09.70] Rich man poor man either or?
[01:12.64] Who shows us what we knead?
[01:14.76] Who's got the bread for the luxuries?
[01:17.01] Who told us it's ingrained?
[01:19.14] We who hold these whips and chains
[01:21.46] If there's no lock who needs a key?
[01:26.20] When did we stop being free?
[01:28.52] I see things vis a vis a sea change
[01:33.20] Full fathom five people became remains deep beneath chains
[01:35.51] We pay into easing these pains
[01:37.64] 'Cause the history is difficult
[01:39.02] Wish the results could be flipped like reciprocals
[01:44.39] Allow me to renumerate aloud the typical rude awakenings
[01:46.89] of the drowsy consumer base
[01:48.33] Bass boom will make the crowd sing and syncopate with
[01:51.26] the views that they're espousing
[01:53.45] Synchronize to the stupid take a thousand
[01:55.64] Sinning like every excuse they make is valid
[01:57.83] Simon Williams I Wonder Man
[02:00.02] Just how did our oil get under their sand?
[02:02.45] And how did our homes get onto their land?
[02:04.83] And how did our foes get guns in their hands?
[02:07.20] Conflict diamonds
[02:07.70] Child labor tennis shoes
[02:09.20] Genocide energy
[02:10.20] Gentrified gin and juice
[02:11.70] Slave trade banks
[02:12.64] Rape-based internet movies
[02:13.95] What's a simple straight-laced human to do
[02:16.20] With a strange fate twist and fame
[02:18.45] Except talk shit and name off a list of gains
[02:21.39] But do you realize I'd find my lips in flames
[02:23.76] If I tried to take pride in these whips and chains
[02:25.33] Who killed o?
[02:26.33] Why and what's the reason for?
[02:29.64] Who starts homicidal wars?
[02:31.51] Rich man poor man either or?
[02:34.08] Who shows us what we knead?
[02:36.33] Who's got the bread for the luxuries?
[02:38.64] Who told us it's ingrained?
[02:40.39] We who hold these whips and chains
[02:43.51] Who holds these
[02:44.57] Who holds these
[02:45.58] Who holds these traps and circuses
[02:47.89] We want it
[02:48.82] They own it
[02:49.95] So we're going half-berserk for it
[02:51.95] Let's take it
[02:53.45] Let's take it
[02:54.58] Let's take it back before cassettes
[02:56.58] Pepsi cans and packs of percocet
[02:58.82] 1910 all the factory workers said
[03:01.33] Yes we can demand a weekend
[03:03.33] If we can get the man to weaken
[03:05.70] So if you're ready than send a beacon
[03:07.89] To be continued and to begin
[03:09.83] We can't be content to steep in the anaesthesia
[03:12.39] Invisible hands of phantoms depend on
[03:14.45] Ya fantasies have been poisoned
[03:15.95] But we've got the panacea!
[03:18.70] Who killed o?
[03:20.95] Why and what's the reason for?
[03:23.95] Who starts homicidal wars?
[03:26.01] Rich man poor man either or?
[03:28.82] Who shows us what we knead?
[03:30.70] Who's got the bread for the luxuries?
[03:33.01] Who told us it's ingrained?
[03:34.51] We who hold these whips and chains
[03:37.58] Who killed o?
[03:39.76] Why and what's the reason for?
[03:42.14] Who starts homicidal wars?
[03:43.76] Rich man poor man either or?
[03:46.39] Who shows us what we knead?
[03:48.76] Who's got the bread for the luxuries?
[03:51.26] Who told us it's ingrained?
[03:53.08] We who hold these whips and chains
