Algiers

73%

From Shook2023

Written by Franklin James Fisher, Lee Tesche

Lyrics

73%

[Intro]

The eyes in this town follow me around like I’m the one that stole their name

What the f*** you think you’re looking at now? I’m not the one to blame

It was your mans who sold your soul, sold your country, sold your company for 73 cents

We paid the price, you laid the dime, he did the crime, now we got millions incapacitated

He ain’t been seen in public since

[Verse 1]

Walking around, find yourself in the Bowery

You don’t know where you’re going, don’t know what to do

The smell of piss is the same but s**t is different

There’s no more Country Bluegrass, no more Blues

And nothing left to lose but don’t look back

Get ready for that, they'll attack now

[Refrain]

They die off and then come back to life

Count their numbers then they multiply

[Verse 2]

Up in smoke just like a ghost out in these gold-plated streets

Don’t see no prophets here, but just like Jeremiah, we’ll disappear

Yeah, we’ll all vanish completely

Don’t get it twisted now

Most folk outside the city want you gone too, shh

Produced by Algiers

And they coming soon

[Bridge]

Strewn along, broken signs along the interstate

(You all hail ‘cause it’s getting closer)

Calling for Repentance or Hell with no Redemption at all

Throw the new American flag over the old one

(You all hail ‘cause it’s getting closer)

Something tells me it’s not the first thing that you hanged in your yard

Hail, hail the dredge of the angels

(You all hail ‘cause it’s getting closer)

Hail, hail the prize of the swine

You’re waiting to get got ‘cause they got you fat and laid out

(You all hail ‘cause it’s getting closer)

Spinning on a spit with the fruit of knowledge gagging your mouth

[Refrain]

They die off and then come back to life

Count their numbers then they multiply

They die then come back to life

Count their numbers then they multiply
