Cockroach Generations
(Burgess-Scealf-M.Obryant)
And on that day that we died I told you that lie
I said it don’t matter but that was my pride
‘cause in a world that ate it’s own
I was gnawin’ at your bones
Sometimes its better not to know
We couldn’t fix the sun
We couldn’t fix the sun
All you cockroach generations
We couldn’t fix the sun
We liked to shoot our guns
Til their pointed at us
So write it on the walls
of all your hallowed halls
we couldn’t fix the sun
we couldn’t fix the sun
we couldn’t fix the sun
all you out law generations
we couldn’t fix the sun
I was born in the house of the rising son
That’s where the devil shows off
The work he’s done
Preacher boy playin’ on those ivory keys
On Sunday mornin’ he goes down on his knees
God and the devil have abandoned thee
God and the devil have abandoned thee
God and the devil have abandoned thee
Boy no one really cares what you think
We couldn’t fix the sun
We couldn’t fix the sun
All you cockroach generations
We couldn’t fix the sun
