Jetpack Songtext
von Flobots

I will not bend
I will not bow
I will not break
I′ll stand my ground
Won't be afraid
To sing out loud
To sing out loud
To sing out loud
The visions of what′s involved
The tensions you must resolve
Distractions will just dissolve
You are not like me


He's encountered a setback
He isn't down to let that
Keep him on the ground, press that
Button - ignite the jetpack
Launch pad shrink disappear
Past the brink the
Atmosphere′s thinning and his
Plasma′s tingly
Planes appear to be birds and
Birds appear to be bees and
He's hearing the words that
Occur to him for no reason
What are you living your life for?
What are you willing to die for?
What do you believe to be the grain of truth you can provide for
This grand adventure?
Is it your plan to spend your
Days batted about by
These random events?
Are you fueled by another engine
Lighting a fire beneath?
Have you breathed and seen your breath in the winds
And have you reached that point?"

I will not bend
I will not bow
I will not break
I′ll stand my ground
Won't be afraid
To sing out loud
To sing out loud
To sing out loud
The visions of what′s involved
The tensions you must resolve
Distractions will just dissolve
You are not like me


You only get to see this
Earth one time it's
Axis tilt′s it
Changes climates
Plates shift weights and
Continents drift and
Draft twisted fates and
Monstrous frictions
Fragmentations stress and
Aggravation
Depression and confusion and
Bad relations use your
Imagination elude their
Categorization
Whether the crowd gives boos or
Congratulations, the blue's just
Something you move through toward the
Vast expanses of space on the
Universal infinite
Path to emancipation the
Gravity of the planet
Grips you but don't abandon
Ship you feel the pressures in side
Can you withstand it?

I will not bend
I will not bow
I will not break
I′ll stand my ground
Won′t be afraid
To sing out loud
To sing out loud
To sing out loud
The visions of what's involved
The tensions you must resolve
Distractions will just dissolve
You are not like me

The heights you′ll reach the
Depths you'll delve to
Depends on the propulsion
System that propels you
Methods that compel you
Messages they sell you
Punishments they give you
For doing what they tell you
But we′ve got passion
They've got prisons
You′ve got the freedom to
Make a decision
Will you abandon
All your addictions?
Take your stand and
Live your convictions
What've you got to lose?
What've you been taught to chose?
What′re you so hot to prove with your
Beautiful socks and shoes?
The costumes′ frayed cloth covers
Skin like a shroud
Exhaust fumes fade off in the wind
Like a cloud

I will not bend
I will not bow
I will not break
I'll stand my ground
Won′t be afraid
To sing out loud
To sing out loud
To sing out loud
The visions of what's involved
The tensions you must resolve
Distractions will just dissolve
You are not like me
