Today, You don't have to be a soldier Don't have to be a soldier, stand down It's okay to be as you were Be as you were again. Is it a scheme? Is it a Vision? Is it a dream? Is it a nightmare? Or is it a competition? And if it is, what if we don't fight fair? What's bald in the morning but in the evening has white hairs? What's the cause of global warming and could it be these things right here? I've got an idea that might not reach anyone for another light year Got a hit list and a cloud of witnesses which is pricier My tears are mightier than my fears So mighty Earth provides me hurt that I keep buried until I convert it to writing I was wounded I was injured I was made to move to Denver I was taken through a new adventure Paint stripped from it's first fixture I was placed in another picture I was rushed to a new landscape And ripped away from family scraped into a politicians mistake And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged A world of emotions A guess that it might be okay That it could be all right if expressed today [Chorus] Am I a woman raised man-machine Damaging everything I touch by not caring enough Or too much Am I far flung fantasy Setting free enmity And making friends from enemies And bridges for the in-between's For the highwayman on a low road The tired back with a large load The trials spanned till I found hope And I found more When I slo mo'ed Enough of the back to face front Let those in the pack of the race run I'm needing an evener pace one too hasty Makes mistakes Can you carry a song As strong as your arms can bear That you keep from harm And it will be there When you go wrong Make a heart from your bond Your treasure is right here And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged A world of emotions A guess that it might be okay That it could be all right if expressed today
Pablo Velasquez 'He said' "violinist" meaning: the VIOLIN. She plays the VIOLA, which makes her a "VIOLIST", as Adam Caldwell said. Though these instruments look alike, they are not, and they sound different. If I remember correctly, the viola has a deeper tune. I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure she plays the viola.
I am glad I helped them get heard in stupid Washington D.C. when "Fight With Tools" had came out. That city is not easy to please, even the populace does not help either. I was hungry for new sounds, the DJ played them one night on his show for new songs to add to radio playlist. He did take the feedback, but overall was a douche back then. Hail Flobots!
My great grand father he was a good soldier he was from Glasgow and in ww1 he was well into family life. I like to believe he killed nobody kept his head down and just survived it and went back to life
I really want my friend to hear this in the midst of this pandemic. Also rioters fighting for social injustices and police brutality to bo stopped. As of today he is still (Nat. Gaurd) guarding the Saint Paul capital where statues were brought down. I only pray he knows what to do when the time comes. Stand with us his hometown.

2024 and it still hits me in the guts 😞 I miss you
Flobots is the king of songs and poetry .
Probably their most underrated song
Every time I hear Mackenzie open this song I fall into it. This is, for me, their most powerful song. Thank you Flobots for adding it to the world.
This song is literally my childhood. Memories flood back when I hear this song, this was me and my dad's song when I was younger.
I would love to watch them live
Beautiful
from France, beautiful music and words
I hope a tormented retired soldier hears this song it's beautiful
Hua! Long understood
Well agreed
they need more songs with Mackenzie's vocals. she is amazing. (they all are)
R.I.P. Tyler. What a great musician and fun person. You will be missed. :(
Who was he ?
This Band is Awesome!!
Double Emphasis on Awesome!!!!
Joshua Lawrence
They are awesome and some real good people.
Thanks for sharing.
On point, on hit, good to see you all out there doin your thing. Much love.
Aveces olvido el poder que tiene arte la poesia la musica el rap el sentimiento que transmiten muy profundo como flobots no hay ninguno
this band speaks the truth we all need to hear and feel
These guys are amazing I love this album!
Amazing!!
We NEED more Flobots in 2017!!!!
There is more. They just released a new album. They are on tour this spring.
Truly amazing music. Way better than drake and those fake rapper
Absolutely amazing!
I like this better than the album version.
I enjoy this. It feels like Irish protest music in a way
Today, You don't have to be a soldier
Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
It's okay to be as you were
Be as you were again.
Is it a scheme? Is it a Vision?
Is it a dream? Is it a nightmare?
Or is it a competition?
And if it is, what if we don't fight fair?
What's bald in the morning but in the evening has white hairs?
What's the cause of global warming and could it be these things right here?
I've got an idea that might not reach anyone for another light year
Got a hit list and a cloud of witnesses which is pricier
My tears are mightier than my fears
So mighty Earth provides me hurt that I keep buried until I convert it to writing
I was wounded
I was injured
I was made to move to Denver
I was taken through a new adventure
Paint stripped from it's first fixture
I was placed in another picture
I was rushed to a new landscape
And ripped away from family scraped into a politicians mistake
And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans
Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged
A world of emotions
A guess that it might be okay
That it could be all right if expressed today
[Chorus]
Am I a woman raised man-machine
Damaging everything I touch by not caring enough
Or too much
Am I far flung fantasy
Setting free enmity
And making friends from enemies
And bridges for the in-between's
For the highwayman on a low road
The tired back with a large load
The trials spanned till I found hope
And I found more
When I slo mo'ed
Enough of the back to face front
Let those in the pack of the race run
I'm needing an evener pace one too hasty
Makes mistakes
Can you carry a song
As strong as your arms can bear
That you keep from harm
And it will be there
When you go wrong
Make a heart from your bond
Your treasure is right here
And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans
Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged
A world of emotions
A guess that it might be okay
That it could be all right if expressed today
This song makes me wanna cry. It's beautiful.
Mackenzie it's amazing artist. Great talent.
I miss her
I wish the violinist would marry me. I love the sound of a violin, and she is already beautiful. You couldn't beat a lifetime of those two combined.
^^^ that's what he said.

She looks exactly like my aunt except shorter hair
yes, you are correct
I want them to do a song with Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots
This is what all music should sound lile.
SPAGZ ÜBER ALLES , music is a part of each an everyone's soul

He looks like a mix between Steven Amell(guy from Arrow) and Gerard Butler
😂 accurate

AMAZING ORGASMIC MUSIC
I hope a Soldier deployed to a US city in 2020 hears this and Stands Down.
I really want my friend to hear this in the midst of this pandemic. Also rioters fighting for social injustices and police brutality to bo stopped. As of today he is still (Nat.
