The Fundament
Looking out of a window
Is Daddy coming home?
There's a warning of violence at the station
Seven dead on the sidewalk
An animal in a cage
We've been calling his number
There's no answer
And if I knew of a signal sent
I'd follow it to the Fundament
Men and women of good intent
All arise at the Fundament
No promise broken, no truth bent
At the Fundament
She had a brother in Yuma
And a kid on the way
She was waiting for paper to belong here
Till the men who don't know her
Come to take her away
She'll be washing their dishes
Ever after
And if I knew what the message meant
I'd take it down to the Fundament
Men and women of good intent
Hand in hand at the Fundament
No promise broken, no truth bent
At the Fundament
Breath of mortar and tear gas
Shuffling at the door
We'll be shouting for quiet for a lifetime
There's a war in the Eighth Ward
Boots and blood in the street
We've been calling and calling
Still no answer
And as I pray for a soul's ascent
I wanna go to the Fundament
Men and women of good intent
Start again at the Fundament
No promise broken, no truth bent
At the Fundament
Is Daddy coming home?
There's a warning of violence at the station
Seven dead on the sidewalk
An animal in a cage
We've been calling his number
There's no answer
And if I knew of a signal sent
I'd follow it to the Fundament
Men and women of good intent
All arise at the Fundament
No promise broken, no truth bent
At the Fundament
She had a brother in Yuma
And a kid on the way
She was waiting for paper to belong here
Till the men who don't know her
Come to take her away
She'll be washing their dishes
Ever after
And if I knew what the message meant
I'd take it down to the Fundament
Men and women of good intent
Hand in hand at the Fundament
No promise broken, no truth bent
At the Fundament
Breath of mortar and tear gas
Shuffling at the door
We'll be shouting for quiet for a lifetime
There's a war in the Eighth Ward
Boots and blood in the street
We've been calling and calling
Still no answer
And as I pray for a soul's ascent
I wanna go to the Fundament
Men and women of good intent
Start again at the Fundament
No promise broken, no truth bent
At the Fundament
