Brace Yourself

As you listen to the records spinning at home
Far far away somebody’s gunning for the thrown
Bidding for your mind, Stalling for some time
Your agenda don’t matter
Wipe that sleep out your eye
When it comes knocking at your door
Close your eyes and pray
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Brace yourself
Rising rising, rising rising
No aisle to reach across
Just enough respect
Pinching all the pennies to make sense of your check
If all that you need is the best you can get
Than try and sum it up in a buck forty or less
When it comes knocking at your door
Close your eyes and pray
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Brace yourself
Rising rising, rising rising
Over population
Under education
Incarceration
Either first or last, ain’t no middle in this class
Used to catch bottles now you’ve barely got a glass
It’s knockin' at your door
Close your eyes and pray
It’s knockin' at your door
Close your eyes and pray
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Brace yourself, it’s too late to be safe
Why don’t you franchise, teach yourself to think
Brace yourself
