about

"Lions In The Downtown" is the debut single of the new duo Mob Dylan's upcoming EP titled "Bare Witness. They have the following to say: "The song is about not rolling over and dying when certain aspects of life are trying to bulldoze you. I think many people can relate. This was written for them. I personally wanted to speak about my reaction to events and patterns existing in the world rather than writing fairy tale songs. From a production standpoint it was an act of rebellion against current trends and also a genuine expression of how we felt. We wrote and produced it in a few days as we did for all other songs on the EP. Mob Dylan is here, deal with it!"

lyrics

(Chrorus)
They huddle round your kids
Putting tanks on the playground
They huddle round your kids
Putting tanks on the playground
Lions in the downtown
Unite (unite)
Lions in the downtown
Unite (unite)
Lions in the downtown

(Verse 1)
This u47s a grenade to the melon
Gallagher shit splatter thought like a felon
It’s a Hundo we gon com wit it let the gun blow
Free a clip a syllables bruh this ain’t tha dumb show
Tyrannical megalodon gluttons
Hitting red buttons til they nuttin money
Gash on the earth ooze nothing but strife
Shove a system down your throat now give now us your life

(Chrorus)
They huddle round your kids
Putting tanks on the playground
They huddle round your kids
Putting tanks on the playground
Lions in the downtown
Unite (unite)
Lions in the downtown
Unite (unite)
Lions in the downtown

(Verse 2)
No healthcare or education there’s no escaping
Just resignation to the Godzilla nation
Smelling hot lead as I walk by the schools
Watch the NRA drool as the profit margin spool
Keep us dumbed down with the dangling dream
You just an inmate in the prison they schemed
Do I even have the freedom to speak the aggression?
Aim the hate launch in the proper direction

(Bridge)
They’re pulling strings in our minds
Til everything’s closed
Can’t think about nothing
Tell me that big brother ain’t real?
Tell me that big brother ain’t real?
Tell me that big brother ain’t real?

(Verse 3)
I ain’t stopping it til it’s mad max
And the sky scrapers are rubble
I’ll be riding a rhinoceros with banana clips in duffles
Rebuild it back so the top 1%
Brush my teeth wash my ass and my bulletproof whip
They be trembling when tank muscle tackle
They the lions to some Serengeti cattle
Mayhem comes I’ll be grinning at the money shot
Pop my shades lean back with the honeypot
This a katana through American dreams
We breaking out of the prison they schemed
Fuck yo freedom I’m a speak the aggression
Aim the hate launch in the proper direction

(Chrorus)
They huddle round your kids
Putting tanks on the playground
They huddle round your kids
Putting tanks on the playground
Lions in the downtown
Unite (unite)
Lions in the downtown
Unite (unite)
Lions in the downtown
