Hickleschmick Referendum by The Earlobe Brothers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
United we stand
United we fall
Together we stand through it all
The things we, as a people, may need
Conflict with what we have, it seems
Standing under a street light
All the others are out tonight
They paid to leave, it's their right
They purposely left the final fight
[Bridge]
Give that gavel a shine and a sheen
A beam in the eyes of the guiltiest team
With the choir in the back, not a scream
The lines up and down, corrupting the screen
One in the gym
And one in the market
The doors are wide open
A sign with a target
Their faces are covered
But they're standing right there!
It's almost as if
Perhaps they're scared
[Chorus]
What's the point in keeping up the battle
If you're riding on the upper's back with a golden saddle
The higher-ups are clueless on where they want to send 'em
"Hell, we might as well leave it to the referendum"
[Verse 2]
Conflicted
Predicted
No escape
Addicted to the blood-rushing pain
Oh, the referendum's just the same
And to think
These're people we trust
Oh, we must
Thrust our money
To the combs full of honey
Heh, that's funny
[Bridge]
The blood from our arms reflects in the eye
Even the hero that wins goes to die
Through all the lessons, why even try?
In the referendum, no-one wins tonight
"Rigged? What do you mean?"
They say to masses, they shiver and scream
"There is totally something! Look through the cream!"
But before you finish, they've turned the slate clean
[Chorus]
What's the point in keeping up the battle
If you're riding on the upper's back with a golden saddle
The higher-ups are clueless on where they want to send 'em
"Hell, we might as well leave it to the referendum"
[Verse 3]
Where are they going?
They're going beyond the hill
Why are they leaving?
They know what they're doing will kill
Why can't we follow?
Do you think they want to deal with the consequences
On their actions they dealt over the fences
Where are they going?
They're going beyond the hill
Why are they leaving?
They know what they're doing will kill
Why can't we follow?
Can't you see it's all a ploy!
Through the referendum, society's their toy!
All's fair in love and war
Both of which compare to the referendum
[Various yelling of authority figures]
United we stand
United we fall
Together we stand through it all
The things we, as a people, may need
