[Justin Vernon - Bon Iver: Sample From "Woods"] I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind I’m building a still to slow down the time I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind I’m building a still to slow down the time I‘m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind I’m building a still to slow down the time [Hook 1 x2] I’m lost in the world, I’m down on my mind I’m new in the city, and I’m down for the night Down for the night Said she’s down for the night [Kanye West - Verse 1] You're my devil, you're my angel You're my heaven, you're my hell You're my now, you're my forever You're my freedom, you're my jail You're my lies, you're my truth You're my war, you're my truce You're my questions, you're my proof You're my stress and you're my masseuse Mamasaymamasamamakusa Lost in this plastic life Let's break out of this fake *** party Turn this in to a classic night If we die in each others arms we still get laid in our afterlife If we die in each others arms we still get laid, yeah [Hook 2] I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind (Run from the lights, run from the night) I’m building a still to slow down the time (Run for your life, Down for the night...) I’m lost in the world, I’m down on my mind I’m new in the city, and I’m down for the night Down for the night Said she’s down for the night (Run from the lights, run from the night) [Bridge] Who will survive in America Who will survive in America Who will survive in America [Hook] [Gil-Scott Heron] Us living as we do upside down. And the new word to have is revolution People don’t even want to hear the preacher spill or spiel Because God’s whole card has been thoroughly piqued And America is now blood and tears Instead of milk and honey The youngsters who were programmed To continue ******* up Woke up one night digging Paul Revere and Nat Turner as the good guys America stripped for bed and we had not all yet closed our eyes The signs of Truth were tattooed across our often entered ****** We learned to our amazement untold tale of scandal. Two long centuries buried In the musty vault, hosed down daily with a gagging perfume America was a ******* the illegitimate daughter of the mother country Whose legs were then spread around the world and a ****** known as freedom, free doom. Democracy, liberty, and justice Were revolutionary code names that preceded the bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling in the mother country’s crotch What does Webster say about soul? All I want is a good home and a wife And a children and some food to feed them every night After all is said and done build a new route to China if they’ll have you Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America?
