lyrics

I hear the drums
The drums repeat
Pounding forgotten
History
Footmen of fear
Soldiers of shame
I've heard your voice
I know your name

They took them out
They laid them bare
In open water
And left them there
And from these lies
The grim receipts
Hung from the rafters
Dragged in the streets

Chorus:
I just wanna be myself
But they say,
"Hey-o, Hey-o, jump in the gun"
They say, "Right, left, turn around, shoot 'em and run"
They say, "Hey-o, hey-o, fall into line"
They say, "Right, left, turn around, join or you die"

They dyed their eyes
They sewed their legs
Took off their heads
Hung them on pegs
it all began
Without much fuss
Someone whispered,
"They're not like us"

Chorus

They came for them
I didn't speak
I didn't care
It wasn't me
They came for me
A soul bereft
And no one spoke
No one was left

Bring out your dead
Break up the walls
Somebody's gotta pay for what they've done
Bring out your dead
Break up the silence
Somebody's gotta pay for what they've done
Somebody's gotta pay for what they've done

It’s a bit like Grandaddy, The Postal Service and The Ting Tings forming a super band | Battery In Your Leg

This Beautiful Small Machines cover of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” easily won me over | IndieShuffle ... more

The Oh Hellos sind was besonderes für mich. Ich mag die Wechsel zwischen den ruhigen, atmospherischen Passagen und den rhythmischen Passagen. Ich mag wie ihr Spannung aufbaut. Ich mag die Stimme von Maggie und Tyler. Ich mage den unisono Gesang der ganzen Band. Ich wünsche mir eine neue Produktion von The Oh Hellos und Surfjan Stevens; und eine Tour mit einem Konzert im Westen von Deutschland. Kert Goéland
