about

November's entry into the Twelve Months project! The randomized restrictions for this song were:
BPM: 139
Instrumentation: "Must have Electric Guitar, can't have drive / fuzz"
Vibe: "You're standing near a waterfall during a drought"

lyrics

In the cover of the night
I'll take the guards on the left
and you'll take right
If we pull this off those dogs won't even know

We’ll be keepin’ out of sight
Silhouettes dancin’ past
The lantern light
Halls of decadence with emptiness below

They say that wrongs can't make a right
Guess it all depends on yer definition
But the people making rules like that are never at risk
They sure thought we wouldn't fight
Well surprise!

Can’t believe that we’re inside
Months of planning and some intense
Overtime
Standing toe to toe with opulence and wealth

Don’t they know that people die
Every day based on things that they
decide
But this ivory tower’s temptations have swelled

They say wrongs can’t make a right
I guess that all depends on your definition
But the people makin rules like that are never at risk
They sure thought we wouldn’t fight
Well…surprise!

Stick to the plan
This world you don't believe in
But I think it's time we're leavin'
And we don't belong
But where do we go
From here?
Please respond
Where do we go
From here?
