Walk Us Uptown - Elvis Costello, The Roots
will you walk us uptown
and wherever you go
you know we will follow
will you walk us uptown
and we'll stand in the light of
a new killing ground
and we won't make a Sound
Except to sing our sorrow
will you walk us uptown
while our tears run in torrents
to suffer in silence
Or pray for some
Solace
Will you wash away our sins
in the cross fire
and cross currents
As you uncross your
fingers and take out
Some insurance
NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE
IT'S YOUR OWN PARADISE
will you walk us uptown
will you walk us uptown
Some hearts are sinking
And some hearts are a flutter
some scoop gold from the dirt
In the gutter
or swallow the Earth
pouring into your mouth
As they bury us upright
Saying
Everything's alright
will you walk us uptown
like some said that you could
we will feast on your flesh
and drink down
Your blood
Will you haul down that flag
and dishonor that vow
Cause we must not change
it's color now
will you walk us uptown
NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE
IT'S CRUSHED IN THE CORNER OF
THEIR OWN PARADISE
will you walk us uptown
will you walk us uptown
THAT'S ALWAYS ASSUMING
That you're partly divine
and partly human
You're the king of hearts
You're the clown with the drums
will you walk us uptown
if we promise
not to run
will you walk us uptown
Will you gather us near
As cowards flee and traitors sneer
Keep a red flag flying
Keep a blue flag as well
And a white flag in case
it all goes to Hell
