Lyrics of The Governor by Nicolas Jaar
intro
(Deicide, deic-, deicide?)
verse
It's simple and numb, stuck on automatic
It's a blind dealer, a wide-eyed addict
We've allowed for a wheel of loss and desire
Now there's no way to put out the fire
Yeah, we're all just rollin', high on some junk
Automatic lava, deicide monk
A hall full of kids tryna deal with their guilt
But the echo of the hall is automatically built and it's alright
And it's alright
verse
Find yourself and look back, no one else will
We've created a monster and it's ready to build
The young one's a trigger, with a bad habit
She's a blind nun, cruelest in static
Yeah, the past's just running, high on a stick
Meaning is useless when given to the sick
A hall full of kids automatically built
So the edge of the hall is ready to kill you, alright
And it's alright
verse
Alarm's going off, oh, can't you hear?
Your eye's in the wrong place reflecting a tear
Go ahead and forget, just give us a smile
Your whole ride is set on automatic dial
On automatic dial, on automatic dial
On automatic dial, on automatic dial
On automatic dial, on automatic dial
On automatic dial, on automatic dial
verse
Alarm's going off, oh, can't you hear?
Your eye's in the wrong place reflecting a tear
Go ahead and forget, just give us a smile
Your whole ride is set on automatic dial
Yeah, we're all just rolling, the mothers have sunk
All the blood's hidden in the Governor's trunk
They keep you in a hall with all of your ilk
To echo the title of the trunk that they built, "it's alright"
outro
And it's alright
