a lament, and a call to action, joining in with the past and present lamenters and prophets of the crushed.

lyrics

I am tired of running in place
I am tired of always saving face
I am tired of trying hard to please you
I am tired of fighting to appease you
I am tired of running in place
I am tired of running in place

I am tired of majesty
I am tired of all that I can be
I am tired of selling myself cheap
I am tired of tuning out the screams
Oh, I am tired of majesty
I am tired of majesty

But I! I love you, I love you darlin'!
I, I need you, I need you baby.
I, I'm sorry for you, sorry for this-
I, I'm sorry for myself.

I am tired of bringin' it on
I am tired of censoring my song
I am tired of watered front lawns
And I am tired of every God-damned bomb
every god-damn bomb!
I am tired of bringing it on!
I am tired of bringing it on

I am tired of red white and blue
I am tired of silencing the truth
I am tired of worshipping youth
and I am tired of every torture booth
every torture booth!
I am tired of red white and blue
Oh, I am tired of red white and blue

But I! I love you, I love you darlin'!
I, I need you, I need you baby.
I, I'm sorry for you, sorry for this-
I, I'm sorry for myself.

We are tired but we're not sleeping
Who can rest amidst such weeping

All you warlords heed this morning
dawn is breakiing, soon be morning

wwe're awake and we're not waiting
ravaged world screams restoration

dawn is breaking soon be morning
dawn is breaking soon be morning
dawn is breaking soon be morning
we are tired but we're not sleeping
dawn is breaking soon be morning
