Magic

Lyrics

[Intro] They steal Then they take your memory of the theft Magic This show will literally take your breath Joker in the deck The Devil and his magic (Devil and his magic) The Devil and his magic (Devil and his magic) [Verse 1] See it's kinda like magic, huh They cause a distraction then poof All that we have disappears and we clap Then forget that it happened Forgot that we lost it Forgot that the magic men have it They grabbed it, they stole it, they cause a distraction Distraction, distraction, (Why?) it's all a distraction Imagine, like magic Gone is our land, our language, our history Ancestry, families vanish like it was magic Gone is our greatness, our sacred places And practices, suddenly we feel vacant We saw them take it though Our hands lift from the earth The dirt, from the food removed, rezoned, reduced, reduced to- Disappeared, it's all smoke and mirrors [Chorus] All of it's magic The Devil and his magic All of it's magic The Devil and his magic [Verse 2] Distraction, distraction The way that they take The way of magicians is in addition to subtraction They used to vision, they mastered the craft of it Listen, see through the illusions And all the amusements They divide humans up causing confusion They use competition, religion It's all just division, man All of it's magic (All of it's magic) Splitting us into factions Fighting until we're fractured Smaller and smaller fractions People feeling like zero Individuals divisible to the point we're invisible Gone into ghettos and armies and prisons We won't be missed, they easily dismiss us They dissolve if you give them munitions And the rest they condition and kill by attrition [Chorus] All of it's magic The Devil and his magic All of it's magic The Devil and his magic [Bridge: Lido Pimienta] All of it's magic (La, la, la, la, la, la, la) All of it's magic All of it's magic All of it, all of it's magic, magic, magic [Verse 3] See them make up stats that make us scrap for the scraps They have all of it, all of it All of it's magic Grabbing at hat tricks, they're practicing, crafty The fastest, you had it and then suddenly Gone is your work, your purpose, your worth The reason you wake, your sense of seizing your stake in it Your traditions and intuitions Supports, commitments, decisions They vanish from your hands like Your volition, your voice, your vision, your choice Your joys, you miss your mission, attention gone To fast cars and fast fashion Fast food and no fasting All distractions The light blinds and the fear blinds And the cash binds and just gotta keep them confined until Reality's so hard to look at That we turn a blind eye Don't even care that they took it The Devil and his magic The Devil and his magic The Devil and his magic
