New Blood

by John Brown's Body

on Pressure Points (2005)

Are you the new one or have I seen this before?
Are you all a repetition of a similar story?
Are you the new blood they're pouring into a corpse
Or a drop of rain falling in the biblical flood?

Are you the new one or have I seen this before?
Are you all a repetition of a similar story?
Are you the new blood they're pouring into a corpse
Or a drop of rain falling in the biblical flood?

Are you the new one?
Are you the new blood?
Are you the new one?
Are you the new blood?

Where in history have we seen this before?
We sing a song full of pride but the lies stay hidden in war.
And now it's signed, sealed and sanitized protecting your pleasure,
Spit-shined and spoon fed and when it's put out to pasture.
You're not the new star, just got to lie to impress her,
Cause we know they did it better when the feeling was fresher.
Standing on the shoulders you have been defeated before
And you can't perform now 'cause you're feeling the pressure.
Are you the new face? Another corporate invention.
Paid not to break the convention, or to voice your dissent.
No one can ever see how the quality has been lessened.
Lack of ability is clear so listen here and agree.

We're not moving over to let the weak heart take our seat.
We know how to prove it, the decision is easy.
You're gonna have to come on if you're taking it from me,
Cause we don't give in, no, we believe. No
We all represent the free majority feeling.
Don't wanna hear the music if you're choosing it for me.
Do you got a groove that don't stand up on its own feet?
Don't enter any deeper the sea.

Are you the new one or have I seen this before?
Are you all a repetition of a similar story?
Are you the new blood they're pouring into a corpse
Or a drop of rain falling in the biblical flood?

Are you the new one or have I seen this before?
Are you all a repetition of a similar story?
Are you the new blood they're pouring into a corpse
Or a drop of rain falling in the biblical flood?

Are you the new one?
Are you the new blood?
Are you the new one?
Are you the new blood?

You're not the reason that they invented the game.
Depending on the weather, you can either shine or you fade.
Struggle in the test, it can compel you make your confession.
So if you come to impress, we come to teach you a lesson.
Y ou're not the new school, you just been pulled off the shelf.
Hot butter under sunlight, pray you don't boil and melt.
But when you're hitting high, then go on deceiving yourself.
If you a money mind, you're gonna end beliving in wealth.
Are you the new son who thinks his back is protected,
Making the market infected without no balance or checkin'?
The governmental policies spend your life in a second.
So if you a betting man believe, don't bet the record of thieves.

We know power absolute pollute absolutely.
We see how your followers shut up and shoot blindly.
We feel it, how you ruining the fruit you took from me,
And we all need a changing of scene.
We been in this season of incredible disease.
Demanded all our capital, you handled it badly.
Now you receive your coming up when new power rising.
We got to break the lock off the seal.

Are you the new one or have I seen this before?
Are you all a repetition of a similar story?
Are you the new blood they're pouring into a corpse
Or a drop of rain falling in the biblical flood?

Are you the new one or have I seen this before?
Are you all a repetition of a similar story?
Are you the new blood they're pouring into a corpse
Or a drop of rain falling in the biblical flood?

Are you the new one?
Are you the new blood?
Are you the new one?
Are you the new blood?
Are you the new one?
