lyrics
it's time for a new voice
it's time for a new moon
it's time to stop waiting for the old men to make room
it's time to pass the flame and use the candle offered
to burn down the gallows and the stocks
no i don't believe
without prisons we will monsters be
and if you do it says more of you than of me
and you say you want to see order restored
but i know it means that you don't wanna have to hear it anymore
you say that it's about respect as the cop kneels on his neck
and if we can't keep a civil tone we deserve what we get
we deserve what we get
we deserve what we get
we deserve what we get
you come with your half truths
and just like the half moon
the light and the shadows make nightmares fill the room
it's time to turn the lights on 'cause we can't see the truth
if we're too scared to move
i won't heed the cries
of these privileged men so scandalized
there's no time to argue just call a lie a lie
and you say that you want civility restored
but i know it means that you don't wanna have to hear it anymore
the water still runs poisonous in flint and you change the subject
for you it's academic, you just like to play devil's advocate
and we get what we get
and we get what we get
and we get what we get
it's time for a new moon
it's time to stop waiting for the old men to make room
it's time to pass the flame and use the candle offered
to burn down the gallows and the stocks
no i don't believe
without prisons we will monsters be
and if you do it says more of you than of me
and you say you want to see order restored
but i know it means that you don't wanna have to hear it anymore
you say that it's about respect as the cop kneels on his neck
and if we can't keep a civil tone we deserve what we get
we deserve what we get
we deserve what we get
we deserve what we get
you come with your half truths
and just like the half moon
the light and the shadows make nightmares fill the room
it's time to turn the lights on 'cause we can't see the truth
if we're too scared to move
i won't heed the cries
of these privileged men so scandalized
there's no time to argue just call a lie a lie
and you say that you want civility restored
but i know it means that you don't wanna have to hear it anymore
the water still runs poisonous in flint and you change the subject
for you it's academic, you just like to play devil's advocate
and we get what we get
and we get what we get
and we get what we get

about
rorie kelly New York
rorie kelly is on a quest to bring her songs to ears around the world through the cunning use of the internet and a small
blue Toyota with over 200,000 miles on it.
rorie writes songs that are melodic and catchy but more thoughtful and introspective than the average pop tune. Her vocals are bigger than you would expect out of her small body and her guitar playing is powerful and percussive.
