surrender Songtext
von Chagall Guevara

You say surrender everything
Haven′t we just met?
You say surrender everything
Like it was no threat

You say you want my everything?
I know what my everything's worth
When you surrendered everything
It was a flat earth

Pirates, punks, priests: we′re all getting kind of bored
Of trying to hoard our attitudes and monetize them
You may see through me, but the sea's too rough
To sort, count and catalogue all these spoils
All this stuff

You say surrender everything
What are you trying to prove? (What are you trying to prove?)
You say surrender everything
Even this righteous groove (Even this righteous groove)


I've got my home base, pride of place
Everything I′ve built will be gone
If I surrender everything
What am I standing on? (what am I standing on?)

Never gave an inch, I never gave up an edge
Now you allege my powers are a poor delusion
I don′t need a lawyer, I know my will
I know it can't be broke, I know it won′t stand down

Until everything I know
Feels like letting go

You say surrender everything
Can I take a last drag?
You say surrender everything
Can I keep the white flag? (the white flag)

'Cause when they check for weapons
They′ll find nothing but a Paper Mate pen
I once surrendered everything
I can do it once again
Yeah, I can do it once again


Us pirates, punks, priests: we're all all kinds of bored
Of trying to hoard our attitudes and monetize them
Yeah, you see through me, but the sea′s too rough
To sort, count and catalogue all these spoils
All this stuff
All this stuff
