Algiers – Dispossession lyrics

[Verse 1]
Run around, run away from your America
While it burns in the streets
I been here standing on top of the mountain
Shouting down what I see, mmh
Seen the pig with the pop out of confusion
That he tried to release
Seen the sun coming over the horizon
Straight across from the east

[Pre-Chorus]
Seen the kings and the soldiers
Overthrown and consumed
Run and tell it to everybody underground
Freedom is coming soon

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
What more is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you

[Verse 2]
Here they come back again from the shadows
From the jaws of the beast, mmh
Here they come from the pages of infinity
Shaking what you believe, mmh
Here they come from the ashes of ashes
So immune to defeat, hey
Here they come with a technicolor antidote
For your hopes and your dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
We'll be there waiting for 'em
With a sword on a throne
Run and tell it to everybody underground
Freedom is coming soon

[Refrain]
Dispossession
Is coming for you

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
What more is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you
Is coming for you, now
Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
How long is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you

[Bridge]
What's that over the horizon?
(No, don't hold back)
On the ground, at your feet
(No, don't hold back)
Reaching up to pull your under
(No, don't hold back)
Hidden eyes when you sleep
(No, don't hold back) yeah
An asylum made of terror
(No, don't hold back)
In a fate made of glass
(No, don't hold back)
We are the blade and the groove that come together
We are the rain of fire that's coming down
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
(Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run)

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
How much more is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you, yeah-yeah
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Everybody wants to break down
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
How much longer is it gonna, gonna take now?
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Till you realize
Dispossession is coming for you, ooh, hey-hey
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
Everybody wants to break down, now
(You can't run away
You can't run away)
How much more is it gonna take now?
(You can't run away)
How much longer?
(You can't run away)
How much longer 'til you realize?
(You can't run away)
It is coming for you
(You can't run away)
It's coming for you now
