Wind​-​Up Toys

from Tent City EP (2011) by Elevator Art

/

lyrics

Shake it down in twenty-ten
Why do we all go on living and pretend we're not wind-up toys?
Wanna tell you all about the man who has everything there ever was to have
Well he ain't had it all.
It won't stop, 'cause the gears don't stop.
If the gears don't stop, then you won't drop out.
You're just a toy making noise.

Take on step back and you will see that life can be a tragedy
But to the rest of them, it's one big comedy routine.
Sweaty summer city street, we got them dour boys spittin' beats diggin' deep,
Chemical brains can flow.
Boom! Bang! Shot 'em in the head, he lying on the ground, he ain't playing dead now,
The sound of trepidation grows!

And he's coming for the only pride you got left in your soul
And he's coming for the only road you know that takes you back home
And he's coming for the only song you ever wrote, that good old rock 'n' roll...

Hey, he's coming for the only road you know
Yeah, he's coming for the only pride you got
Hey, he's coming for the only song you wrote.
