Treason

Well I've been thinking That this is treason What I've been doing with my life My contributions To the system Have been minimal at best There's another power That I'm after It's coming straight from my chest That's why I take my soul down to the river And hold my head up to the sky Take my soul down to the river And hold my head up to the sky Well I've been thinking That this is treason What I've been doing with my life The holy empire and their shiny weapons Have no power here The chutes and ladders The fame and dollars Have all been scattered into the air That's why I take my soul down to the river And hold my head up to the sky Take my soul down to the river And hold my head up to the sky I've been thinking That this is treason What I've been doing with my life There's another power That I'm after It's taken me all this time to realize Why I take my soul down to the river And hold my head up to the sky I take my soul down to the river And hold my head up to the sky Well I take my soul down To the riverside And I hold my head up to the sky When they come asking They ask me why I just hold me head up to the sky Cause I've been down that road before And it goes round and around So take my money and take my car Take my status and take my wage Take my future and take my name I'm gonna keep my heart and gonna take my soul down to the river And hold my head up the sky I take my soul down to the river And I hold my head up to the sky
