lyrics

Mind Over Manners

They came down Main Street
With the hell of ancient cries
Ripped and burned through storefronts
Like it was wool over their eyes
And the city said, “what about broken glass?”
And the police said, “settle down, it’ll pass.”
How can we even try to deny?
Why do we even wonder why
they would want to break from
these eternal beginnings and rise?

Its just mind over manners
And it applies to you and I.

If they were to give me their shoes
And say “boy go take a stroll”
I believe I might defer to
Some asshole that thinks he knows.
You gotta know how to move while you hide
You gotta know how to breathe when they lie
How can we even try to deny?

Why do we even wonder why

they would want to break from
these eternal beginnings and rise?

Its just mind over manners.
