Slingshot Grin Lyrics

I know better than you do
Rock beats scissors
Paint your fingers bloody
I know better than the new
Brash transmission
From the understudies
Oh, listen to me

I know better than you do
One for the money
Make your fingers black
And I know better than you do
The heart's a gutter
Or a cul-de-sac, it's true
So what you gonna do?

Clocks will stop when you drop that
Slingshot grin
Oh now, a change is gonna come
Something lost when you got that
Slingshot grin
Oh now, a change is gonna come

I know better than you do
Rock beats paper
Close a fist around it
I know better than you do
Movers, shakers
Gonna b*tch about it all
Listen to me

I know better than you do
Hope's rendition
So extraordinary
I hurt deeper than you do
Love's a bridge
We gotta burn before we cross
Oh, tell me what you got

Clocks will stop when you drop that
Slingshot grin
Oh now, a change is gonna come
Something lost when you got that
Slingshot grin
Oh now, a change is gonna come
Oh now, a change is gonna come

Is this the coming home?
The ticker-tape parade?
Wagons in a circle
Oh, you let it happen

While you unpick the sky
Turn confetti into ash
Make tricks of all the magic
Oh, you let it happen

If everything's a guess
Illusion's bitter pill
Is still too big to swallow
I won't let it happen

The sirens keep us up
And the wolves won't settle down
But everything's a story
So just let it happen

Everything's a story
So just let it happen

Clocks will stop when you drop that
Slingshot grin
Everything's a story
So just let it happen
