The Weight

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rostam] Head high like a halo Warm hands on the pavement Eyes glowin' in the heat lamps Callin' out a broken government Walkin' home in a rainstorm Mom and Dad don't believe you Every word at commencement Moved to the administration [Chorus: Rostam] You feel the weight come down to you 'Cause you know the truth You've got courage on your side You feel the weight come down to you And you know it to be true You've got courage on your side [Verse 2: Rostam] Bodies blockin' up the driveway Car parked in Chicago Unmarked in the walkway Plain clothes on the radio And anyway, you never wrote it In the library basement They can force a resignation But can't stop information [Chorus: Rostam] You feel the weight come down to you 'Cause you know the truth You've got courage on your side You feel the weight come down to you And you know it to be true You've got courage on your side [Instrumental Outro: Amir Yaghmai]
