LYRICS: “From the Inside”
By Ariel Penn
She passed me
On a Minnesota street
Eyes wide
Terrified
Asking me
Where power resides
From the inside
From the inside
We tell tales
To survive
Fake but catchy
Weaved in fear.
Telling us
What we must hear
You can’t be
Confident
Happy
And right
And be happy
With this life
Where a gunshot
Ends a sister
Ends a sister
A mother
A wife
Where a gunshot
Ends a brother
Ends a brother
A nurse
Who saves a life.
And one man
The mad king
Calls the shots
For the whole world
Without a thought
Without a single fucking thought
And no one knows
When it will end
Or if power resides
From the inside
From the inside
Empires crumble
They don’t last
Crumble so darn fast
From the inside
From the inside
It’s human nature
So she said
Meanness is a feature
Not the thread
From the inside
From the inside
God help us all. All.
God help us all. All.
God help us all.
