    Lyrics

    I been looking all over
    For the heart of this land
    It’s all the same from the highway
    Paranoid and bland
    But I found a string of outposts
    Dug in deep behind the lines
    It’s getting harder to hold hope
    But that’s where I’m keeping mine
    And it’s scary breaking cover
    It’s hard breaking ground
    And it’s the nail that sticks up
    That gets knocked down
    Oh, and every bit of brilliance
    In all that you do
    They’ll find a way to twist it
    And try to sell it back to you
    Considering your options, you could play it smart
    Or you can let love have its way with your heart
    You might think that it’s hopeless, before you even start
    Let love have its way with your heart

    See, I’m just like the system
    Stubborn and scared of change
    In the throes of addiction
    Turning hungry-eyed and strange
    And the more I see it in myself
    The more I kick and shout
    Like we hate the infidel
    ‘Cause he shows us our own doubt
    You can point fingers, deny any part
    Or you can let love have its way with your heart
    You might think that it’s hopeless, before you even start
    Let love have its way with your heart

    Love’s talking through the mothers
    And singing through the Earth
    When we’ve dug the last dollar
    We’ll see what it’s worth
    And this is coming down hard, friends
    Not if, but when
    And just as cruel as we are now
    We could be crueler then
    And you can shore up the walls that keep the world apart
    Or you can let love have its way with your heart
    You might think that it’s hopeless, before you even start
    Let love have its way with your heart
    Oh, let love have its way with your heart
