Texas Instruments
[Verse 1]
This place was once underwater, then inhabitants
Came to name the land called Texas their own word for friends

[Chorus]
Give us the sound and give us the silence
Give us the sound and give us the silence
Give us the sound and give us the silence

[Verse 2]
Spanish conquest got the Caddo, and then Mexicans
Tonkawa fought Wichita, then white Americans
They got Texas, then U.S.A. began
Military, military, tell me of your friends

[Chorus]
Give us the sound and give us the silence
Give us the sound and give us the silence
Give us the sound and give us the silence

[Verse 3]
This place was once underwater, then inhabitants
Came to name the land called Texas their own word for friends

[Chorus]
Give us the sound and give us the silence
Give us the sound and give us the silence
Give us the sound and give us the silence

[Outro]
The hubris of propriety
Macy's Day Parade history
Puff your chest up so we can see
Who brought the books you read
Who brought the books you read
Who brought the, who brought the
Who brought the, brought the, brought the
Who brought the books you read
