Lyrics
Intro
Yeah
Check
Always punchin' up
Never punchin' down
Chorus
You try to lock the gates and bolt the door
Keep your narrow vision while the people want more
Your platform is a phantom
Built on ancient fear
Pauline the division isn't welcome here
Post-Chorus
No room for fear
Not here
No room for fear
Not here
Verse 1
Cardboard cutouts on the television screen
Ranting 'bout the laundry that you never keep clean
Bitter bias breaks a nation
I see friends
I see neighbors
I see brothers
From a distant shore who work and pay their taxes
While you sit and sharpen rusted axes
Pre-Chorus
The fabric is woven with a rainbow thread
Old laws are dying or they’re already dead
Turn the page
Chorus
You try to lock the gates and bolt the door
Keep your narrow vision while the people want more
Your platform is a phantom
Built on ancient fear
Pauline the division isn't welcome here
Post-Chorus
No room for fear
Not here
No room for fear
Not here
Verse 2
Bigotry is a burden you choose to carry around
Spilling sour secrets in a thirsty town
Love is love no matter what you think
Ship of hate
Ship of pride
Ship of lies
About to sink in the harbor of the modern age
Turn the page
Pre-Chorus
The fabric is woven with a rainbow thread
Old laws are dying or they’re already dead
Turn the page
Chorus
You try to lock the gates and bolt the door
Keep your narrow vision while the people want more
Your platform is a phantom
Built on ancient fear
Pauline the division isn't welcome here
Chorus
You try to lock the gates and bolt the door
Keep your narrow vision while the people want more
Your platform is a phantom
Built on ancient fear
Pauline the division isn't welcome
Bridge
No hate, No way
Not a single ounce
Not today, No way
Why won't you just bounce?
No hate, No way
Not a single ounce
Not today, No way
Why won't you just bounce?
Verse 3
Echoes of a past that we already outgrew
Selling panic to the public like it's something new
Isolation is a prison made of paper walls
We build bridges while your empire falls
Everyone's a pillar in the grand design
Drawing unity along the borderline
Verse 4
Preaching yesterday's gospel to tomorrow's child
Trading kindness for a conflict that you fueled and styled
History is moving with a heavy stride
No more room for the wicked or the blind-eyed
The horizon isn't something that you get to erase
We are standing in a brand new place
Pre-Chorus
The fabric is woven with a rainbow thread
Old laws are dying or they’re already dead
Turn the page
Chorus
You try to lock the gates and bolt the door
Keep
Fade out
