[00:00.00]We Built A Monster - Thea Gilmore
[00:17.17]Stretched between the lamplight
[00:19.39]And the cigarette ash
[00:21.34]In the corner of the city
[00:23.00]Where the markets crashed
[00:27.78]There are boxes of the lonely
[00:29.52]Here and fires of hope
[00:32.30]We built a monster
[00:36.28]We built a monster
[00:39.96]You can take a bit of red
[00:41.77]A bit of white and blue
[00:44.03]From across the Atlantic laying trails to you
[00:51.64]A little flash of lightning
[00:53.04]And some bully boy charm
[00:55.41]We built a monster
[00:59.31]We built a monster
[01:02.97]This thing can cross oceans in
[01:05.41]It's seven league boots
[01:06.93]It can chew the money tree
[01:08.96]Right down to it's roots
[01:11.00]The ship of a state
[01:12.91]Can go under in minutes
[01:15.35]You don't know the flood is coming
[01:18.47]Until you're swimming in it
[01:29.05]It ain't come from the hungry
[01:30.70]It ain't come from the bored
[01:33.26]It ain't tramping out the vintage
[01:35.37]Where the grapes of wrath are stored
[01:39.91]It spins like a tequila
[01:41.90]Worm inside all of us
[01:44.43]We built a monster
[01:48.33]We built a monster
[01:51.84]It can breathe
[01:53.10]It's greed into innocent souls
[01:55.95]It can raise up armies
[01:57.36]It can blow em full of holes
[01:59.90]It can dress for occasion
[02:02.22]If occasion demands
[02:03.98]There is power in the chase
[02:06.48]There is power in the hand
[02:25.97]So the city flickers on
[02:27.49]Like a reeperbahn night
[02:30.42]Hissing like a wildcat
[02:32.45]Just about to fight
[02:37.05]And it mutters
[02:38.29]That we rule by ladders of degree
[02:41.56]We built a monster
[02:45.40]We built a monster
[02:49.43]We built a monster
[02:53.34]We built a monster
