Lotus Lyrics - Cage The Elephant - Cage The Elephant

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 thinkin' 'bout the way that we live 

I've got this feelin' 

It's gonna stop 

Driven by religion 

Running backwards down a one way road 

A course collision, split decision 

Tryin' to save your soul 

Manifest Destiny 

Is just a fancy word for murder 

I've got this feelin' 

It's gonna stop

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

A billion faces runnin' round my head 

All got opinions but they don't mean shit 

Keep droppin' bombs until the whole world's dead 

They said it's all been done and it's all been said 

They'll turn this message into a pop movement 

A fashion statement, call it politics 

You can mark my words, they'll put a spin on it 

They say it's all been done 

Look outside the box my friend 

Your heart's been dead since who knows when 

It seems we've missed the mark 

Lost all hope and given in 

Pack up the suitcase 

Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin 

The fear that drives you 

Needs to be stopped 

Photos 

Fell into a daze 

And found my mind was gone and laid to waste 

A battleground indeed 

Where holy wars have taken place 

I saw the sunset watched it travel down 

And tear through the ground 

The hate that drives us 

Needs to be stopped
