Zoot Suits by Rico Sisney Lyrics
[Hook 1]
Can we get it right?
Right right right right right!
Can we get it right?
Right right right right right!
I’m trying to get it right!
Right right right right right!
Can we get it right?
Right right right right right!
[Hook 2]
From a city with big shoulders like zoot suits
Where they kill time like Zeus do
And they get stoned--Medusa view
We ain't got no use for you!
Ain't just gang bangers that shoot shoot
It’s the same thing they do to schools!
They ain't got no use for youth!
We ain't got no use for you!
[Verse 1]
See there’s no great distinction between an endangered species
And one that's finally faced extinction
The change could sneak in in an hour or a minute or a second
Numbers lessen ‘till we're left with only records
History lessons for who's next in the procession
The question of reception is the real one
Will we ignore the warning signs until we're done?
Fear mongerers they will come, but we're so fearsome and fierce we fear none!
Bda bda! Get ya top chopped. Mr. White knock knock
This feels like a mob plot: everybody knocked off
Das Schloss Is this Kafka?
It will not stop ‘till fat lady with a sawed off shoots up opera
Preserve the picture (moth balls for a Bob Ross)
Perfect contradiction (hot sauce on my foie gras)
Weather worse in winter (drop boxes where cars park)
Summer pop pop to show they not soft it's not solved
[Hook 1]
[Verse 2]
Dear God, I know you can take us in an instant
How many times you gotta show me till i get it?
I was pissed off cuz I had just missed my flight
Then I watched a man lose his life
And the timing forced me to witness
We were both in line just trying to get a ticket
He collapsed right behind me but I couldn’t even hear it and even though he hit my leg, I ain't move at first. I could barely feel it. I turned around-- tried to help him
Somebody said, “Don't get near him!”
I stood as the men and women
(one dentist one pediatrician and several medical professionals) came out of the trenches to fix him
The defibrillators narration appeared as if it could save him
They listened and obeyed it
Put Faith in but he ain't make it
What I'm gauging from the situation...
There's no real reason for him to die and for me to stay here
So I should trust you the way they trusted that machine
Be patient and every moment I have to do your bidding is sacred
So I'll be grateful
Thinking, “how far do i wanna run?”
Shedding ego and negative thoughts cuz they cumbersome
I gotta focus nonstop if i want it done
Can't waste time I tore the watch off my cummerbund
Where I'm coming from they got
[Hook 2]
[Hook 1]
One day we’ll get it right...
Can we get it right?
Right right right right right!
Can we get it right?
Right right right right right!
I’m trying to get it right!
Right right right right right!
Can we get it right?
Right right right right right!
