Shaking hands on the senate floor
Closing deals and pushing for more
He’s got a plan to win their hearts and minds yeah
It’s the same old crook
He’s taking a page out of Henry’s book
Gonna write them off before the people get the chance
To rip it up and throw it out
Well that's just what killers do
They salt the fields so it never blooms
if a flower grows then it can't be long
Before they make their ploy
And arm the Contras or bomb Hanoi
If Freedom rang he'd be calling from the Hague
So while he's got an empty cell
The cold war never ends
(its the killer, its the killer, its the killer yeah)
It all starts over again
(its the killer, its the killer, its the killer yeah)
He’s got you right between the eyes
(its the killer, its the killer, its the killer yeah)
Waving the flag for human rights
(its the killer, its the killer, its the killer yeah)
When does a killer die?
The Killer
So many people that are born to lose
In a broken world that only turns to
Grind them down until they turn to smoke
It’s what I see
The pigs doing work for the company
I'm breaking out but the cycles never done
I'm rarely in awe. High Horse set something right in my brain that had been wrong for a while. Unexpected beauty, even in the ugly truths we have to face. modestwriggles
Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
