Treated and Released (Futuristic Opera Bass Bloom Mix)

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] I watched the tables turn Same old hands, same old burn They trade the crumbs for gold And leave the hungry in the cold Every speech a polished blade Every promise gets repealed I’m done with the counters, done with the games Done with the names on the seal [Pre-Chorus] Open every gate Drop the locks today If you came up empty You don’t walk away No more ask, no more wait No more buy and sell If we call it justice Then we do it well [Chorus] Treated and released Treated and released From now on Fed, not teased (from now on) Treated and released Treated and released No exceptions, no fees No exceptions [Verse 2] No one eats on maybe No one sleeps on debt No one bows to a folded note And a pocket full of regret If the door is shut We break the frame If the plate is bare We speak that name Not your side, not my side Just the ones in need Hands on the table Bread and light and seed [Pre-Chorus] Open every gate Drop the locks today If you came up empty You don’t walk away No more ask, no more wait No more buy and sell If we call it justice Then we do it well [Chorus] Treated and released Treated and released From now on Fed, not teased (from now on) Treated and released Treated and released No exceptions, no fees No exceptions [Bridge] Let the old rooms crack Let the paper burn What we keep is simple What we give returns One bowl for the winter One bed for the rain One world, one doorway Say it again [Chorus] Treated and released Treated and released From now on Fed, not teased (from now on) Treated and released Treated and released No exceptions, no fees No exceptions
