Rhys Langston – The Governor's Water Glasses lyrics

Shouts out to U. S. V. I. (what up)

Full staffed
Knee taken was
Drought tolerant

Flag spread
Pole poking my bio-politick

Left my theory at that pipeline
School was prison discourse

Niacin in vitamin
My breakfast choice

Each morning woke up
Spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered
Each morning woke up
Spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered

I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered) [X3]

I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(water, water, water, water, water, water, water)

Spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered
Each morning woke up
Check for fema

Flood’s lines on the foyer
X on the principal, door
Directed deposit
Material benefit liminal

For four score and ye olde yore
Posted no bills
Meddlesome weeks’ deals
Futures on meals
On wheels

Local produce, a metaphor for irony still
‘cause we were shipped in
To front the bill

I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered) [X3]

I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(water, water, water, water, water, water, water)

I said my brother was a rolling stone
I was a Standing Rock
Everyday pops came home
And popped that Rolling Rock

He Marshall Planned his Glock
Cleaned it with his tv dinner
Only Black cop to join the blocking line
That electoral winter

Facing down the First Nation, all seconds
Safeties ready to empty the chambers
Aquifers languid and tepid

Shrugs at state-sanctioned danger:
Tears protest gas
Ice, yeah, money anger

(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)

Shouts out to that young god Chaac
That made them clouds pop
Condensed our percentage into droplets
To fall on our flock
Cut out the beating heart and
Laid it in the pyramid top

Yeah, do that to lawmakers
So we can reap crops
Harvest redlined agribusiness
On subsidized blocks, hot

Swiping cards for a single use plastic
Acronyms fail to mention
Yo, this water ain’t elastic

I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered) [X3]

I spread eagle
For the governor’s water glasses
(water, water, water, water, water, water, water)

I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)

I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle)

I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)

I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)

I was lead to the content of these pipes
Environment, our own terror site

I was lead to the content of these pipes
(spread eagle, yeah, beleaguered)

I was lead to the content of these pipes
Became a victim to my own rights
By their own right
