Lyrics:
Johnny was a chameleon when it was predominantly shrapnel, shrapnel from the chapel of the Katman
Johnny kiss the groom and go join the killing while Britain is watching her Watson
Headed down to Tianamon but had tarry enough time, shoulda listened to the world turn
Told me that the cheaters are watching scratch ticket Jesus insulting the sultan
But we got an offer to lessen the lesson learned, like kissing cousins kissing out of turn
But if you gonna play you gotta play the party lines
We gon’ take back this town if it takes us all, hey kid you look you could be found
But for the moment we are the fault line
I mind that our time is still marked by the grains of intolerance
It’s our lives, our fight til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done
In the United States of discrimination the schools feed into the prison
The corporations are more powerful than the government
Give the teachers a banker’s salary and see how that goes
See if we farm our land again, Kilanmanjaro it snows
You sleep in your Egyptian linen 500 count thread what’s the count on the dead
We are the eye of the needle, we fixing to mend this quilt of lies that’s ripped up on our bed
We coming in quick and we got Angela Davis on our lips and Mandela in our head
We got an offer to lessen the lesson learned, like kissing cousins kissing out of turn
But if you gonna play you gotta play the party lines
We gon’ take back this town if it takes us all, hey kid you look you could be found
But for the moment we are the fault line
I mind that our time is still marked by the grains of intolerance
It’s our lives, our fight til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done
Ay, I lost my religion along with my innocence
Our lives our time til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done, done, done, done, done, done, done
Well at least she got her body, and he’s a boy named Sue
The Federales sure ain’t no expert on love, why would we listen to you
Well at least we got our bodies, we all a boy named Sue
And we’ll fight til it’s done, til the borders are run, where there’s gardens not guns, life is anew
It was a fight night and the prize fighter cut like in a knife fight, it was all over the highlights when he got hit by a hard right, he saw stars like lightbright couldn’t see any sightline, started his skydive from the highlife, like Pele plain highlight, shoulding m’aide to his hayday, in the pell-mell of the melee, his corner was getting a payday needed Thompson from My Lai, turn his guns his own guys, but it wasn’t Maltofs and Mai Thais, just AKs and white lies, tell Mount Sinai to believe in I and I and you and you, not an eye for an eye and I ain’t eyeing the cap on your tooth but then again I ain’t debating and standing in your shoes, I’m just trying to figure out which Golden Rule I should choose, we getting high sided by the tie guys, white color crime pays just look at the bylines, if you believe in anything believe in occupy, cause it’s a richman’s world and we getting off the sidelines
I mind that our time is still marked by the grains of intolerance
It’s our lives, our fight til we done, til we done, til we done, til we done
I might let the gallery down but there are people by the thousands outside - and we are just getting by
I might, might let the gallery down, depending on how many votes did you buy

This is arguably the most important song chad has written
Beautiful

Hey Chad,
Thank you!

So with the changing billboard dates:
21/9/2011 is the day that 7 people were arrested for Occupy Wall Street.
5/17/2004 is the day that same sex marriage was made legal in Massachusetts.
6/27/1876 is the day that troops searching for Custer found out about Little Big Horn, which was two days prior.
2/11/1990 is the day Nelson Mandela was released from prison.
8/9/2014 is a bit of a mystery and I could not really find anything.
6/6/1968 is the day that Robert Kennedy was killed.
7/19/1848 is the day that the Seneca Falls Convention started.
There seems to be a general theme with the dates that is very much in keeping with the lyrics of the song, but if someone can find anything for 8/9/2014 I would be really interested.
skimpy126
8/9/2014 is the day Mike Brown was shot and killed by police in Ferguson, MO.
And 9/21/2011 was also the day Troy Davis was executed by the state of Georgia. Troy's been the subject of a few of Chadwick's songs.
Yooper1992 I am surprised I could not find anything for 8/9/2014, it is such an important date. Also I was thinking it might be Troy Davis but the lyrics seem to be more about protest with the reference to Tianamen Sqaure.
Is Chad Stokes capable of doing anything that's not outstanding?
nope!
Wordd!
Eh I'm not the biggest fan of all his stuff from dispatch, it's not terrible but not always my favorite.
@@TheMason658 Yeah, some of the stuff isn't that great.. like "Circles Around the Sun" and "Who Are We Living For?"
Incredible video! I love all of this.
Wish I could double like this! The video and the song! Awesome!

I love this song and the whole new album. Thats awesome! ;)

Amazing!
Love the song and the video!!!
this is incredible!
another song you have to dive in fully: first it sounds like an easy song - it isn´t. Also the video first seems to be quite simple. Well, great song writing again, great music performance, great dancers, very nice video-idea. Timing on music/movements, the lyrics. I´m touched! Go on Chetro! You`re the modern Bob Dylan...with the better music!
Great video!! I do video myself, and that was a great concept. Great song too!

Any relevance to the changing dates on the billboard?
Yeah, they are significant events that changed the world or represent change in its own right.
