Lyrics

Texas Instruments

[Verse 1]

This place was once underwater, then inhabitants

Came to name the land called Texas their own word for friends

[Chorus]

Give us the sound and give us the silence

Give us the sound and give us the silence

Give us the sound and give us the silence

[Verse 2]

Spanish conquest got the Caddo, and then Mexicans

Tonkawa fought Wichita, then white Americans

They got Texas, then U.S.A. began

Military, military, tell me of your friends

[Chorus]

Give us the sound and give us the silence

Give us the sound and give us the silence

Give us the sound and give us the silence

[Verse 3]

This place was once underwater, then inhabitants

Came to name the land called Texas their own word for friends

[Chorus]

Give us the sound and give us the silence

Give us the sound and give us the silence

Give us the sound and give us the silence

[Outro]

The hubris of propriety

Macy's Day Parade history

Puff your chest up so we can see

Who brought the books you read

Who brought the books you read

Who brought the, who brought the

Who brought the, brought the, brought the

Who brought the books you read
