song for congress - nada surf lyrics
i’m a new yorker
with long american roots
i see a land that’s tilting
and i don’t know what to do
something is different
this danger feels new
who do we look to?
in the capitol building
the chosen few
i wrote a song for you
i wrote a song for you
as you walk through statuary hall
do you hear the marble breathing?
all the statues are trying to talk
what do you think that they’re saying?
the muse of history
writes everything down
she writes just what she sees
in washington town
as you walk through statuary hall
do you catch the marble moving?
all the statues are trying to walk
where do you think that they’re going?
we’re on a bigger team
than left or right
we have a fl!ckering history
as a guiding light
don’t wanna see the american dream
die in the night
’round the world
in bars and parks
people commiserate
complex feelings
’round this flag of ours but
don’t wanna see it fade
they still want their
american friend
as you walk through statuary hall
do you see the marble moving?
all the statues are starting to walk
where do you think that they’re going?
to find the man
who would be king
doesn’t seem to care about
anything
now’s the time to do something
(do we dare look away, shut our eyes and slide into the dark?)
now’s the time to do something
(when we’re all looking back, we will cry when we see what we have done)
now’s the time to say something
(families split up, the world heating up)
now’s the time to say something
(we are letting hate lead us away)
