Mila

Everyone

Keep your heads down

The warning call is ringing out

You know the rule

Nobody move

Cause if you do, they’ll tear down the whole block

They’ll all come looking for you

And I guess I always knew

Nowadays

A monument

Stands up where you never could

But the only words

Read don’t disturb

The people in the neighborhood

They’ll try their best to bury you

Sometimes, sometimes I do too

My sweet Mila

With burning lungs

The talk of every man in town

The exit’s blocked

But you stood upright

Guarded by a prayer on your lips

No one could take that from you

And I guess I always knew
