The Circle in the Square - Flobots

Hands in the air,

Presidents, prime ministers

They said that we didn't care

But that isn't fair

Hands in the air,

Presidents, prime ministers

They said that we didn't care

But we're the circle in the square

Hands in the air,

President, prime minister

They said that we didn't care

We're the circle in the square

Hands in the air,

President, prime ministers

They said that we didn't care

We're the circle in the square

Hands in the air,

Presidents, prime ministers

They said that we didn't care

We're the circle in the square

Hands in the air,

Presidents, prime ministers

They said that we didn't care

We're the circle in the square

The time is now, our time has come

We show them how, what can't be done

No matter what they say or they don't say

We make a way out of no way

Against the gun, beneath the veil

Yes we can, too big to fail

We are the ones we're waiting for

We save ourselves; praise the lord

We are Sly and the Family Stone in calamity

Triumph when thrown to the domes of these Goliaths

Planted seeds in silence and granted meek compliance

And in the spring rain exploded in a riot

Of color and excitement, wearing no disguises

Declaring to the stars that we trek like enterprises

Of candlelight revivals and how we lift the blindfolds

We end in Revelation, like it was the Bible

Hands in the air,

President, prime minister

They said that we didn't care

But we're the circle in the square

Hands in the air,

President, prime minister

They said that we didn't care

We're the circle in the square

Hands in the air,

President, prime minister

They said that we didn't care

But we're the circle in the square

Hands in the air,

President, prime minister

They said that we didn't care

We're the circle in the square

We are the circle in the squee-are, we breathe air

The same as the ones who didn't prepare, don't be scared

Whatever time it was when you began

The clock is now 11: 55 on the big hand

So you're invited into the circle that we sleep in

Invited to depend on friendships we deepen

To uncover the secrets in the, that we're bleepin

The treasures maps we pretend we do not believe in

Show us how to

Party at the protest

Rally like a rockstar

Yaya, yaya, allahu akbar

Do svidaniya, ega

Foster all the people

El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido

We're the circle in the square

We're the circle in the square

We're the circle in the square

We're the circle in the square

We are the night light bearers for night terrors

We are group dreamers, vision seekers and pall bearers

In aftermath of blight errors, blood type and marrow

To the bone oaths and beat hope into plough shares

We are balancing the balance beam

Pulling strings from battle scenes tapestries

And ravenous advocates for smaller teams

Pop the bubbles of Cristal schemes

We are the sleep walkers for stalled dreams

Hands in the air,

President, prime minister

They said that we didn't care

But we're the circle in the square

Hands in the air,

President, prime minister

They said that we didn't care

We're the circle in the square

We're the circle in the square

We're the circle in the square

We're the circle in the square

We're the circle in the square
