Algiers - Dispossession

Run around, run away from your America
While it burns in the streets
I been here, standing on top of the mountain
Shouting down what I see, mm
Seen the pig with the pop out of confusion
That he tried to release
Seen a sun coming over the horizon
Straight across from the east

Seen the kings and the soldiers
On the throne they consume
Run and tell it to everybody underground
Freedom is coming soon

Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
What more is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you

Here they come back again from the shadows
From the jaws of the beast, mm
Here they come from the pages of infinity
Shaking what you believe, mm
Here they come from the ashes of ashes
So immune to defeat, hey
Here they come with a technicolor antidote
For your hopes and your dreams

We'll be there waiting for 'em
With assault on a phone
Run and tell it to everybody underground
Freedom is coming soon

(His side, or this side)
(Is coming for you)

Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
What more is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you
Is coming for you, now

Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
How long is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you

What's that over the horizon?
(No, don't hold back)
On the ground, at your feet
(No, don't hold back)
Reaching up to pull your under
(No, don't hold back)
Hidden eyes when you sleep
(No, don't hold back) yeah
An asylum made of terror
(No, don't hold back)
And a fate made of glass
(No, don't hold back)
We are the blade and the groove that come together
We are the rain and the fire that's coming down

Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away

Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
How much more is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you, yeah, yeah

(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
How much longer is it gonna, gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you, ooh, hey, hey

(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Everybody wants to break down, now
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
How much more is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away) how much longer?
(You can't run away) how much longer
Until you realize?
(You can't run away)
It is coming for you
(You can't run away)
It's coming for you now
