Karma Debt

The Mynabirds

Here we are in the orchestra 
A bullet in our brain 
We hold our homes like credit cards 
And hope to pay the rent 
But when the war is done 
And we've finished all our songs 
We'll offset the colossal karma debt 

The ebony and the ivory talked politics again 
Then they sat and chewed the stingray 
Til there was nothing left 
But will all their peace act cold 
Amount to something more or something less 
And wasted breath 

I give it all I give it all for a legacy of love 
I give it all I give it all for a legacy of love 
I give it all I give it all for a legacy of love 

Here we are in the orchestra 
A bullet in our brain 
We hold our homes like credit cards 
And hope to pay the rent 
And when the war is done 
And we've finished all our songs 
We'll offset the colossal karma debt
