R.O.M.P.
Tomorrows Bad Seeds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord help the sunlight burst through this perilous haze
Feel the force of the motion sway from your heavenly rays
Nowadays seems so strange i feel like i'm trapped in a cage
Of babylon's labyrinth caught in this rat race walk a path of
Righteousness amongst this mundane maze time to change
Their tower of power leading to way games for your mind is
The most precious thing that you can taste blessed with this
This eye don't let it go to waste

(chorus)
And if it was up to me will i would choose simplicity and if it
Was up to you you'd just complicate things like you usually
Do and if it just stayed the same because you know that some
Things they may never change don't you rain on my parade
Just spend most of your mind's time in the shade...

I'll tip the scale when it's half empty overcome the vex with
Positivity i'll toast the glass if you'll pour the wine if we work
Hand - in - hand it would be just fine because nothing is what
It seems in this day - in - age we've got to overcome these trife
Times to turn a new page we must burn down babylon and
Watch it's fire blaze blessed with your third eye don't let it go to waste





(chorus 2x's)
