letter to lady j [live] - dispatch lyrics
[verse 1]
my dear old friend, it’s you we need
there’s blood in the gutters and fear in the street
how long we’re to fight for a change that never comes?
[pre*chorus]
oh, in some ways, it’s the same
but tonight, the crowd, they came
fists in the air, candles and vigils
cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
[chorus]
but how long’s it been since you’ve been outside?
how long’s it been since you opened your eyes?
’cause i’ve been to the line and it’s all right there
and i cannot wait to get on from—
[verse 2]
arms bent back and blackjack welt
involuntary tears and the tears we felt
does it always have to get worse before it gets better?
[pre*chorus]
oh, in some ways, it’s the same
but tonight, the crowd, they came
fists in the air, candles and vigils
cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
[chorus]
but how long’s it been since you’ve been outside?
how long’s it been since you opened your eyes?
’cause i’ve been to the line and it’s all right there
and i cannot wait to get on from here (un, deux, trois)
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
virgil caine, where are you now?
did they bury the hate when they buried the south?
you got to tell the spirit mystics of tomorrow
[pre*chorus]
that in some ways, it’s the same
but tonight, the crowd, they came
fists in the air, candles and vigils
cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
[chorus]
but how long’s it been since you’ve been outside?
how long’s it been since you opened your eyes?
’cause i’ve been to the line and it’s all right there
i cannot wait to get on from here (one, two, three)
[outro]
thank you, boston
