lyrics

A GOOD DAY FOR THE HAWK

My mama told me when I was a boy, son
Cool that ambition and wait your turn
Do unto others and share all your bread, boy
God only loves a bowing head

Threw that shit away
Only victims wait
A good day, the hawk descends

My father worked to his bones like a fool
Paid his tuition at midnight school
Corporate wage gave him all that he had
A crumbling box to live out his end

Threw that shit away
Cause it felt like death
A good day, the hawk descends

Put your tools away
No one feels your pain
A good day, the hawk descends

In the dark I saw my master
Counting his gold in the devil’s vault
He said be glad for what I hand ya
I took his head and my change, a good day
A good day for the hawk

Now ya say I ain’t no moral man
Who wrote the book that always tells ya no?
Ya said you are aren’t sure, some council of old
Ya never met em but they claimed your soul
Never beg to be saved, take for yourself

Throw your cross away
And your creed of shame
A good day, the hawk descends

We all know that you nice guys can’t get off
We all know that them top boys, they prey on us all
Said ya think you can change it, I say give it time
Spread your hope and your fears, well baby I’ll get mine
Baby I’ll get mine

Brother Ox Shady Grove, Pennsylvania

Brother Ox was a band with an idea behind it. Labor, societal pressure, anguish of the common man: listen to the first album, you hear these themes. This was a good thing.

But it was also an excuse to hide.

Volume 2 is full of characters you know in your personal experience, and some you haven't met yet. It's the same for us. Is it rock or something worse? Are we traitors? To what cause? None. ... more
