The Keepers -Santigold

I walk blind with smoke in my eyes

It's like we don't know where we been

That's it boy just state your case

You're just as wrong as you were then

One tough move throw your hands up

Say I don't make no rules

No one even knows I'm here

Now its on you to man up

You say no weight'll hang on what you say

We're the keepers

While we sleep in America

Our house is burning down

Our house is burning

We're the keepers

While we sleep in America

Our house is burning down

Our house is burning

Down down it burns down

Our house is burning down

Ask me why a dream gets you by

But let it want turns a dangerous thing

Watch out for it it snakes right past

Then turns around and it sucks you in

What happens when you get stuck

Get to the bottom of the illusion that you're in

From the roots now it's shook up

Know that what ails without will do you in

We're the keepers

While we sleep in America

Our house is burning down

Our house is burning

We're the keepers

While we sleep in America

Our house is burning down

Our house is burning

Down down it burns down

Our house is burning down

And not a thing I've done

Abates my fear

And not a thing I've done

Abates

And still although our hearts can't run

We are gone

We are gone

On the heels of all we have done know

We're the keepers

While we sleep in America

Our house is burning down

Our house is burning

We're the keepers

While we sleep in America

Our house is burning down

Our house is burning down

We're the keepers

While we sleep in America

Our house is burning down

Our house is burning

We're the keepers

While we sleep in America

Our house is burning down

Our house is burning

Down down it burns down

Our house is burning down
