REGIME CHANGE
Micah Sommersmith (feat. Andrew Olson, Sally Derr)

Andrew Olson:
Well nations rise and nations fall
And rulers come and go
One day a prince is standing tall
The next he’s laid low

Micah:
I’ve been playing my mind on regime change
And maybe you’ll find that this seems strange
But lately this kind of a theme is invading my dreams
So wait for the key change

And let me explain: there’s always a new revolution somewhere, yes?
The bringers of pain, they claim they’ve got the solution to whatever mess
They kill and they maim in the name of evolution, or progress
But in a few years all the sorrows and fears that they thought they had solved with their guns and their molotovs come rushing back like a train on a track and you know that the crash will be ten times as bad as whatever they left in the shadows of history, marching along in a spiral of misery, promising promising promising promising promising promising lies

Sally Derr:
You can build a ladder that goes up and up and up
And tell everyone to climb hand over hand
But they’ll be that much madder when they finally reach the top
And find themselves right back where they began

Micah:
So, here we sit, right?
I’m not saying just sit tight
I’m just saying to think twice
That’s it, alright?

Can’t tell you more of the story than this
Don’t know about power and glory and shit
Can’t fill in the holes the historians missed
I’m just a simple accordionist

Andrew Olson:
Well nations rise and nations fall
And rulers come and go
One day a prince is standing tall
The next he’s laid low
