Do do do do do do do

(oh oh ohh)

Call it what you want
Call it what you need
There’s a shift, there’s a glitch in this rеality
Now it’s up to us, now it’s up to me to invoke
What was spoken through thе air that we breathe
Call it what you want
Call it what you need
There’s a shift, there’s a glitch in this reality
Now it’s up to us - now it’s up to me - to invoke
What was spoken through the air that we breathe
[Bridge]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Ooh ah ooh ah
Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah oh
Ooh ah ooh ah
Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah ohh ohhh
A voice of the meek and the damned
Precious metal; I am golden
Don’t let society hold them
[Chorus]
Call it what you want
Call it what you need
There’s a shift, there’s a glitch in this reality
Now it’s up to us, now it’s up to me to invoke
What was spoken through the air that we breathe
Call it what you want
Call it what you need
There’s a shift, there’s a glitch in this reality
Now it’s up to us - now it’s up to me - to invoke
What was spoken through the air that we breathe
