The Effect Lyrics - Survival Story - Flobots

It's the F-L-O-B-O-T-S 

What did you expect? 

You wanted us to move you right to left 

Live and direct 

It's like 

1, 2, 3, 4 

Butterfly wing flap, whole thing change 

One look, two different books, same page 

Front on the range but the beat's contage 

Stuck to your feet for 3, 4 days 

It's real, too real like film projectors 

Bend the letters to find the nectar 

It is effective, it will protect ya 

From them specters, don't let 'em get ya 

How did they escape the rat race? 

How'd he make that sound with that bass? 

The roof is ablaze so break the glass case 

Song so big, affect the tax base 

Don't drink the potion, split the ocean 

Holy Moses, Pharaoh's forces 

Let my people go with purpose 

Turn the tide with forward motion 

How does it feel to un-glue? 

Where do you think we've come to? 

What does it take to follow through? 

Who is it making you move? 

Heavens to Murgatroyd 

The situation's purgatory 

Brer Rabbit stories, burn categories 

The allegory is Adam's story 

On the eve of something glorious 

Us against them won't bust the system 

But trust the pistons, the engine's mis-spent 

Our thrust is intense, combustive intent 

Boom Jonny 5 better yet Juan Cinco 

Rhetoric rep for my Colorado lingo 

Whatever preterit's wet by my ink flow 

Is spelled out B4 

Get it?, because I never get outwitted 

Bold-faced type, all capped like a fitted 

We'll make you move even if you're arthritic 

Something you thought I wouldn't do, I did it 

How does it feel to un-glue? 

Where do you think we've come to? 

What does it take to follow through? 

Who is it making you move? 

It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S 

What did you, what did, did you expect? 

You wanted us to move you, move you right to left 

Live and direct, you ride the effect 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la 

It's a quilombo with Kenny O on the drum roll 

We rocket like Dikembe Mutombo 

Djembe to bongo to MPC 

We unload and win MVP 

So let's be old fashioned, put the beat on blast 

And leave a lil' something like a geocache 

And if anybody wanna smurf with me 

We can take this to the nursery 

Like hickory dickory, rhyme so slippery 

This emcee, that emcee, wish they could switch currencies 

Like a battery, disbelieve flattery 

Realistically, it can just be a smattering 

To sit and watch the needle peak with Mario C 

Reppin' CO and 303 

(Speak up, girl) 

Even if it's what's they're against 

Do the Helen Keller and confront male arrogance 

How does it feel to un-glue? 

Where do you think we've come to? 

What does it take to follow through? 

Who is it making you move? 

It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S 

What did you, what did, did you expect? 

You wanted us to move you, move you right to left 

Live and direct, you ride the effect 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

La 

It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S 

What did you, what did, did you expect? 

You wanted us to move you, move you right to left 

Live and direct, you ride the effect
