Lyrics

“What am I to do?” said the apple to the core
“I had my old convictions, I don’t have them anymore
But the band just keeps on playing la-tee-dee and la-tee-da
Like the ship was never sinking
Like the ice was gonna thaw
And I never knew my country like I never knew myself
I never knew when push would come there wouldn’t be any help
So I just keep on playing the only game to play
To keep the body moving, to keep the death away.”
“What am I to do?” said the body to the bone
“Yeah I have space inside of me but never feel at home
Because the outside some come
It beckons like the earth it says, ‘I promise you a kingdom
If you never look at your own hurt’
So I never knew my country like I never knew my friend
I never knew when push would come it would be the end
So we just keep on playing the only game to play
To keep the body moving, to keep the death away”
Keep the death away
Keep the death away
Keep the body moving
Keep the death away
Keep the death away
Keep the death away
Keep the body moving
Keep the death away
Keep the death away
Keep the death away
Keep the body moving
Keep the death away
Keep the death away
Keep the death away
Keep the body moving
Keep the death away
All the words they make up stories
Every story has a lie
And every lie wants something from you
Like a weed up from the ground
So if you have a problem it might stick around
You’ll have to find the root to decolonize the sound
“What am I to do?” said the apple to the core.
It may not be what you do but what you think you’re doing for
And “what am I to do?” said the body to the bone
You can stop telling yourself that you’re doing it alone
Oh you can stop telling yourself that you’re doing it alone
Oh you can stop telling yourself that you’re doing it alone
