lyrics

I been looking all over
For the heart of this land
It’s all the same from the highway
Paranoid and bland
But I found a string of outposts
Dug in deep behind the lines
It’s getting harder to hold hope
But that’s where I’m keeping mine
And it’s scary breaking cover
It’s hard breaking ground
And it’s the nail that sticks up
That gets knocked down
Oh, and every bit of brilliance
In all that you do
They’ll find a way to twist it
And try to sell it back to you
Considering your options, you could play it smart
Or you can let love have its way with your heart
You might think that it’s hopeless, before you even start
Let love have its way with your heart

See, I’m just like the system
Stubborn and scared of change
In the throes of addiction
Turning hungry-eyed and strange
And the more I see it in myself
The more I kick and shout
Like we hate the infidel
‘Cause he shows us our own doubt
You can point fingers, deny any part
Or you can let love have its way with your heart
You might think that it’s hopeless, before you even start
Let love have its way with your heart

Love’s talking through the mothers
And singing through the Earth
When we’ve dug the last dollar
We’ll see what it’s worth
And this is coming down hard, friends
Not if, but when
And just as cruel as we are now
We could be crueler then
And you can shore up the walls that keep the world apart
Or you can let love have its way with your heart
You might think that it’s hopeless, before you even start
Let love have its way with your heart
Oh, let love have its way with your heart
