Lyrics Parquet Courts

Parquet Courts

Total Football

We are conductors of sound, heat and energy

And I bet that you thought you had us figured out from the start

We are conduits of clear electricity

Now you're back on the pitch to take the apparatus apart

You're an anc-ient now

You're an anc-ient now

You're an anc-ient now

On your own

Rebels, teachers

Strikers, sweepers

Better protected

Whenever collected

We are troubled by your soft curiosity

But delighted to be anti everything you were taught

Are you put off by our footloose fluidity

Have your hurt caucasian feelings left you so distraught?

Are you quite done now?

Are you quite done now?

Are you quite done now?

Not at all

Workers, authors

Poets, stoppers

Power resembled

If we are assembled

Only through those who stay awake can an institution be dismantled

It is dishonest, nay, a sin to stand for any anthem that attempts to drown out the roar of oppression

Hesse Total Football

Twombly Total Football

Tzara Total Football

Mina Total Football

Panthers Total Football

Kobra Total Football

Dada Total Football

Beatles Total Football

Swapping parts and roles is not acting but rather emancipation from expectation

Collectivism and autonomy are not mutually exclusive

Those who find discomfort in your goals of liberation will be issued no apology

And fuck Tom Brady!
