May Day

On the north side of the border
There's a place where they sell liquor
On the boardwalk they go dancing
And in the town hall they show pictures

Colours light up the air at night
Couple off into the warmth of darkness
Let them carry our note to the crowds
From the pavilion where the bands play

On a May Day
On a May Day
Here's a mayday
Hear our mayday

This rebellion of the fallen
This rebellion is our calling
Marching to the sound of scripture
But in our hearts we are not listening

I want to reach out and bring together
All the millions feeling out of place
Waiting alone in a silent shade
Until the sunlight catches up to my face

On a May Day
On a May Day
Here's a mayday
Hear our mayday

Satin and velvet is our bondage
Muzzled by our metal corsets
Use us up like blood and confetti
This world won't change unless we force it

Their arm won't bend unless we force it
World won't change unless we force it
Their arm won't bend unless we force it
World won't change unless we force it

On a May Day
On a May Day
Here's a mayday
Hear our mayday
