Long Draw
People don't know nothing anymore
Can't get it figured out
Folks just wandering around
Justify doing without
And fighting over water
A cool, clear, clean glass of water
Mother Nature's calling, calling
Sending along her forget-me-nots
With it comes a warning, warning
But when have warnings ever been enough? Oh
You cannot make a law
You can never make a law
Long enough
Spring has moved to summer
Summer's into fall
Way too much rain now
Or not near enough at all
We're a long way from mercy
And it's a long damn way to fall
But if there's hope in this house
I'm gonna find it
If there's hope in this house
I'm gonna rope, I'm gonna bind it
If there's hope in this house
I wanna get up inside it
Magnify it
I wanna take a long draw
We pruned ourselves tryna get even
Playing chicken with the truth
No matter what you're hiding, holding
Folks acting like they don't know the right thing to do
I've never seen nothing like it
Militant ignorance and proud of it, too
Here-to-fore it's been kettle scrape
Run by mullahs, rabbis, preachers and priests
They will fill you full of lead saying it and praying
For the wrong kind of peace
Danger, danger
But if there's hope in the house
I'm gonna find it
If there's hope in house
I'm gonna rope, I wanna ride it
If there's hope in this house
I wanna lay beside it
I wanna magnify it
I wanna take a long draw
We still have got to earn our future
We can't be just treading time
This is not just a backwater
Where we can mosey easy going down the line
No matter how you call it
These strange days
Surely they are counting times
But if there's hope in the house
I'm gonna find it
If there's hope in the house
I wanna rope, I'm gonna ride it
If there's hope in this house
I wanna lay beside it
If there's hope in the house
I wanna magnify it
I wanna occupy it
I wanna take a long draw
Can't get it figured out
Folks just wandering around
Justify doing without
And fighting over water
A cool, clear, clean glass of water
Mother Nature's calling, calling
Sending along her forget-me-nots
With it comes a warning, warning
But when have warnings ever been enough? Oh
You cannot make a law
You can never make a law
Long enough
Spring has moved to summer
Summer's into fall
Way too much rain now
Or not near enough at all
We're a long way from mercy
And it's a long damn way to fall
But if there's hope in this house
I'm gonna find it
If there's hope in this house
I'm gonna rope, I'm gonna bind it
If there's hope in this house
I wanna get up inside it
Magnify it
I wanna take a long draw
We pruned ourselves tryna get even
Playing chicken with the truth
No matter what you're hiding, holding
Folks acting like they don't know the right thing to do

If there's hope in this house
I wanna lay beside it
If there's hope in the house
I wanna magnify it
I wanna occupy it
I wanna take a long draw
