Violet violence violins decrescendo The silence of the sirens saying secrets in my window The window knows waves are simply just the slaves Of the echoes of their power pushing forgotten graves Grave digger grave digger ruby red find Sell the broken bones and gems and buy yourself a mind Think well, oh well, maybe it's too late I'll trade the gems for my guilt and make a cleaner slate Red, yellow, black, or white union in the steeple But don't you dare forget about the purple people Purple people pray that pipers pay the prince's papers Now the Moon is murdered making the sun another faker Rise, rise, rise, rise The purple people they will rise Clash the colors and start a riot We can't see, we can't see The purple people are just you and me Oh they're just you and me The purple people they will rise Clash the colors and start a riot You can't see, you can't see The purple people are just you and me He's a mad man sad man very very bad man The clashing colors make a river of blood Place the bones back in the grave and chase our fears into the cave Cave cave cave man, crack the whip a slave man Roses red, violets blue, that makes purple when you mix the two So what's mine is yours and yours is mine so smoke my pipe and drink my wine Drink my wine until you're drunk Until you're feet swing past that trunk Strange fruit, strange fruit, ripe ready strange fruit You can keep a doggy locked up in their cage But if that door swings open say hello to his rage They think they're in their caves crawling while they're crawling But the purple man has a plan and is rising up a riot Riot, riot ha ha ha ha Riot, riot ha ha ha ha Riot, riot shh hush be quiet The purple man made his plan releasing a riot Rise, rise, rise, rise The purple people they will rise Clash the colors and start a riot You can't see, no you can't see The purple people are just you and me
