[Verse 1]
[Male]
Mr. Davies on the docket, cold face, heavy room
Menominee said the word, now the whole town want a tune
Paper got a stain on it, but the truth don’t fold
When they twist your name for profit, that’s a rotten little joke
[Female]
Mrs. Davies kept her head up, heels steady, chin high
Told them facts from the first day, still they looking for a lie
Took our steps, took our silence, tried to write our story wrong
But we been here through the smoke and we been standing all along
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male]
You can point, you can circle, you can press that frame
But you can’t keep a good name buried under shame
[Female]
No, you can’t keep a good name buried under shame
We still here, we still clear, say it plain
[Chorus]
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
We don’t bend for your play
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
Truth been here every day
They tried to pin us down
Tried to make us small
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
Still standing tall
[Verse 2]
[Female]
Film folks on the phone now, music folks want proof
Want the pain turned into product, want the scandal for the booth
But we see the hungry hands, see the hungry eyes
Everybody love the glow when they can monetize the fire
[Male]
Nah, we keep our rights tight, keep our names in our own hands
Not a headline for the takers, not a pawn in their plans
Menominee can write lines, but they can’t write our soul
What they threw at Mr. and Mrs., we turned it into gold
[Pre-Chorus]
[Female]
You can point, you can circle, you can press that frame
But you can’t keep a good name buried under shame
[Male]
No, you can’t keep a good name buried under shame
We still here, we still clear, say it plain
[Chorus]
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
We don’t bend for your play
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
Truth been here every day
They tried to pin us down
Tried to make us small
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
Still standing tall
[Bridge]
[Female]
Let the record talk
Let the cameras roll
We know what we lived
We know what they stole
[Male]
If they want our story
They can hear it right
From the same two voices
That survived the night
[Final Chorus]
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
We don’t bend for your play
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
Truth been here every day
They tried to pin us down
Tried to make us small
Mr. and Mrs. Davies (Davies)
Still standing tall
