Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Lotus” dari Cage The Elephant:
[Intro]
E N.C.
[Verse 1]
Woke before the morning sun
I found it tucked beneath the hills
I sat and watched it rise
It hit the sky and burst to flames
The lotus flower's
Got me thinking bout the way that we live
I've got this feeling
It's gonna stop
[Verse 2]
C#m
Driven by religion
C#m
Running backwards down a one way road
C#m
A course collision, split decision
C#m
Trying to save your soul
C#m
Manifest Destiny
C#m
Is just a fancy word for murder
C#m
I've got this feeling
C#m
It's gonna stop
[Chorus]
D A
A billion faces running round my head
D A
All got opinions but they don't mean ****
D A
Keep dropping bombs until the whole world's dead
D A
They said it's all been done and it's all been said
D A
They'll turn this message into a pop movement
D A
A fashion statement, call it politics
D A
You can mark my words they'll put a spin on it
D A
They say it's all been done
[Verse 3]
C#m
Look outside the box my friend
C#m
You heart's been dead since who knows when
C#m
It seems we've missed the mark
C#m
Lost all hope and given in
C#m
Pack up the suitcase
C#m
Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin
C#m
The fear that drives you
C#m
Needs to be stopped
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Fell into a daze
And found my mind was gone and laid to waste
A battle ground indeed
Where holy wars have taken place
I saw the sun set watched it travel down
And tear through the ground
The hate that drives us
Needs to be stopped
[Outro]
C#m C#m C#m C#m
C#m C#m C#m C#m
C#m C#m C#m C#m
C#m C#m C#m C#m
C#m C#m C#m C#m
