Lyrics
Saturate
Take our chances; they’re not yours to blow
Cheaters and gangsters – leave us alone!
They’re cutting a hard edge for you
They’re cutting a hard edge for you
The dealer demanded a piece of your soul
We’re already losing before you roll
Can’t still the waters on the lake
They’ll pull you down, pull you down
The black needs a night to saturate, to saturate.
A total acceptance that failure’s assured
To soften your anger. To feel more secure.
You fight the impulse, primitive and simple and hardwired in you to want to hit something.
Just take your medicine and try to breathe in slowly.
Don’t think your leaders, they haven’t noticed.
Don’t think you’re powerless.
We’ve got to get past this.
Can’t still the waters on the lake
They’ll pull you down, pull you down
The black needs a night to saturate, to saturate.
Keep on the shoreline where you’re safe
To cut ‘em down, cut ‘em down
The blood needs a knife to saturate, to saturate.
