A Slow Movin’ Nightmare
(©2022 Anders/O’Bitz)

Breakdown
Has come
Too long
Believin’ wildly dumb

Way down
You’ll see
From these cancers
We cannot be freed

So low … and with
Lost rights … and we’re
Scrapin’ bottom
Reachin’ for the sky

So far … and with
No time … and we’re
So far gone
We can’t even ask why

Aha what a weight for our sons
And for our daughters
To bear
Aha to the victor the spoils
A spoiled victor’s
Nightmare
A slow movin’ nightmare

Breakdown
Has come
Too long
Prayin’ Kingdom comes

Way down
You’ll see
From what’s come
We cannot be freed

So low … and with
Lost rights … and we’re
Scrapin’ bottom
Reachin’ for the sky

So far … and with
No time … and we’re
Too far gone
To find a home called mine

Aha what a weight for our sons
And for our daughters
To bear
Aha to the victor the spoils
A spoiled victor’s
Nightmare
A slow movin’ nightmare

Ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh oh ooh oh …

Aha what a weight for our sons
And for our daughters
To bear
Aha to the victor the spoils
A spoiled victor’s
Nightmare
A slow movin’ nightmare
A slow movin’ nightmare
A slow movin’ nightmare
