Blow That Mother Down

lyrics

BLOW THAT MOTHER DOWN

you can take the water and the wine
and sail away to anywhere the sun, it shines
you and everyone could bridge together
if you're gonna sell yourself
don't sell yourself too shy

i ain't got no time for resolution
you're stuck in circles
when your memory's on the prowl
this quiet earth, this revolution
will never get the best of us
or turn us back around
if we blow that mother down

and only if it is decided
if you're gonna walk
you're gonna walk this crooked line
you play the martyr very well, babe
but it'll only make them stop and stare
and sulk and whine

i ain't got no time for resolution
you're stuck in circles
when your memory's on the prowl
this quiet earth, this revolution
will never get the best of us
or turn us back around
if we blow that mother down

and when it burns, you're gonna burn
and when it breaks
you're gonna feel it all the same
and when they cry to you for mercy
don't surrender anything
except your shame

i ain't got no time for resolution
you're stuck in circles
when your memory's on the prowl
this quiet earth, this revolution
will never get the best of us
or turn us back around
if we blow that mother down
