The World's Great Downfalls
You Are Correct
Quiet Rebellion · Freedom from Control · Uplifting Indie Rock
#VERSE
I am proud to have a partner who doesn’t think much of money
She is proud to have a partner who doesn’t think much at all
’Cause we do not believe that you have to “think” before you can “be”
Maybe that's just one of the world's great downfalls
#PRE-CHORUS
We won't be controlled by thoughts
We reach inside our minds and turn them off
#VERSE
We are wishing for a world where peace doesn’t just mean a standoff
We are ready for any way to live in peace at all
’Cause we do not believe that you have to fight to prove you are free
Maybe that's just one of the world's great downfalls
#PRE-CHORUS
We won't be controlled by war
The cheers for bigger bombs have gone too far
#CHORUS
We’re not holding a torch
We’re not waving big flags
We're just not comfortable living life that way
Controlled by scribbled rules
That we obeyed like willing fools
It's time to scrub the walls
And wash control away
#VERSE
We are watching for a world that doesn't say,
“Go make more money!”
We are waiting for the day when we can simply “be”… and that’s all
’Cause we do not believe that you have to earn before you can breathe
It's just another one of the world's great downfalls
#PRE-CHORUS
We won't let work control our lives
The payoff's rarely worth the price
#CHORUS
We’re not leading a march
We’re not screaming for change
We're just not comfortable living life that way
Controlled by scribbled rules
That we obeyed like willing fools
It's time to scrub the walls
And wash control away
#INSTRUMENTAL
#CHORUS
We’re calmly choosing peace
We’re rinsing windows clean
Removing muddy words that we used to obey
Right here in our own house
We choose which thoughts win out
Quietly scrub our minds
And wash control away
#OUTRO
We are waking to a world that doesn't revolve around money
We are waltzing in a world that doesn't rely on control....
We are reaching for a world that doesn't revolve around money, money, money, money
No, we don’t need control
Don’t want it, don’t need it, won’t live beneath it
We’re saying goodbye to control
