And When You Fall - Algiers

You stripped the message, yeah, you changed the frame

Washed it in white and stole our name

Tried to slip away through the back door

Did you pull it off?

No, you can’t be sure

Cause confusion, hide behind

Misdirection, lies implied

Tried to empty out the cultural ties

Then you fill it with your signifiers

So walk on down your ragged mile

Cause we won’t be too far behind

And when you fall

You’re gonna want to know who

Who it really was

Who took you down

And when you fall

We’ll be there waiting for you

No there’s no exit

You can’t turn around

When you got it, you forgot it

It was never yours

You won’t know how, but when it falls down

You’ll know exactly who we are

While you’re spending yourself

We’re saving

While you’re playing yourself

We’re planning

While you’re folding your hand

We’re holding

Where you’re ending yourself

We begin

While you’re sleeping on us

We’re stalking

When you jump at the gun

We stand still

(We're still standing)

And when you fall

You’re gonna want to know who

Who it really was

Who took you down

And when you fall

We’ll be there waiting for you

There’s no exit

You can’t turn around

When you got it, you forgot it

It was never yours

You won’t know how, but when it falls down

You’ll know exactly who we are
