Curtis - Invidious

Lyrics:
Am I the hawk? Am I the dove? The vulture swooping down from above?
Am I the drone, circling high, whirring tuneless, pie-eyed in the sky?

Angry gods of retribution, driving hate without solution
City, home to all who came and ever will

Long lost tribes, invaders of old, staking their claim to spiritual gold
Layers of antiquity, buried below, each with a sad tale to better not know

There is no time for meditation, pause for thought or hesitation
Set in stone, firm pledges to fulfil
Angry gods of retribution, driving hate without solution
City, home to all who came and ever will

Rocks upon rocks, ashes on ashes, bagels and lox, warak dawali
Divisible loaves, two fish from the Galilee
As friends sit and dine, take water and wine

I walk the cobbled alleys nervously
Soldier girls and soldier boys stare at me
Down the line, out of time, switch alliance in my mind

I walk the cobbled alleys nervously
Soldier girls and soldier boys stare at me
Down the line, out of time, switch alliance in my mind

Am I the hawk? Am I the dove? The vulture swooping down from above?
Am I the drone, circling high, whirring tuneless, pie-eyed in the sky?

There is no time for meditation, pause for thought or hesitation
Set in stone, firm pledges to fulfil
Angry gods of retribution, driving hate without solution
City, home to all who came and ever will: but I never will
I'm not over Jerusalem, Jerusalem

LYRICS:

Born with nothing
and that was most of us
raised in unemployement lines
grew inside domestic crimes

always against the odds
one with the underdogs

stepped on since day one
taught to accept defeat
expectations of a failure
always told me i was nothing

always against the odds
one with the underdogs

we are the underdogs

had to scratch and fight
just to stay on my feet
with a heart made of steel
i smashed through everything

always against the odds
one with the underdogs

Lyrics:

Focused mind I move in silence desperately Can't lose myself in all that I see Grinded by a will that never dies Gotta break out can't escape without a fight Fight so hard just to get by Confusion tries my peace Fight so hard just to get by Survival comes crashing down on me So many answers I just could not find So I roll with the lows and the highs Gotta break out can't escape without a fight Hope gives birth to strength Strength breaks through the loss the greed Got to break out got to move on Cause what was will never be Got to break out Got to take some pain Survival crashes in Down on me Survival Comes down on me Survival""
