Molotov Lullaby

[Verse 1]

Kids draw tanks

In the margin of math

Teacher says

“Pick a safer path”

Flag in the hallway

Bleeds to the floor

All of these prayers

Pinned to the door

[Chorus]

Sing me a Molotov lullaby (hey!)

Rock me to sleep in a hail of lies

You load the guns

Then ask why we run

Call it peace

While the sirens cry

Sing me a Molotov lullaby

Molotov lullaby

[Verse 2]

You shake my hand

Ink still wet on the bill

Smile for the lens

While the ink runs red in the hills

Your polished shoes

On our broken stone

You talk about borders

Like we’re not bones

[Chorus]

Sing me a Molotov lullaby (woah)

Rock me to sleep in a hail of lies

You sell the war

From a velvet floor

Toast the dead

With your alibis

Sing me a Molotov lullaby

Molotov lullaby

Or a mask on a flag? (oh-oh)

You said “order”

While you kicked in the door

You said “future”

As you fed us to the war

[Chorus]

Sing me a Molotov lullaby (yeah)

Rock me to sleep while the cities die

You write the rules

Then call us fools

When we won’t bow

To your battle cry

Sing me a Molotov lullaby

Molotov lullaby (molotov, molotov)

Molotov lullaby
