Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All collapse
In the sun
The hammer and the dance
Forever having fun
"Burn the books
Don't you see?
History begins
Right now with you and me"
[Chorus]
Wasted all the commons
A looted golden calf
Ivory towers and ivory crosses
My livelihood is rotting in your hand, man
[Verse 2]
The future came
And everything's known
There's nothing left to say
Show's over, take me home
Far away
Distant lands
See the world
You can see the world
With a big gun in your hand
[Chorus]
Wasted all the commons
A looted golden calf
Ivory towers and ivory crosses
My livelihood is rotting in your hand, man
Written by: Andrew Bailey, Benjamin D Newman, Colin Caulfield, Zachary Cole Smith
