|
Forget the shadows of experimental bliss |
|
And all the efforts to consolidate our pride |
|
For we can fight just as well |
|
We can send them all to hell |
|
With all the pomp and production of a tidewater bell |
|
We are the ciphers of old and we'll do as we're told |
|
So long as units are sold throughout the night |
|
So many lines in the sand that we can't understand |
|
Revert to closing the ranks on every shortsighted plan [Chorus] |
|
It's just society, anxiety |
|
Sometimes it's like the story never ends |
|
It's heresy, hypocrisy |
|
And through our ignorance we suffer our revenge |
|
So quick to throw the only truth we've ever known so far away |
|
Too many times we've turned our backs on all the crimes |
|
And passed it off as borrowed time that's not our own |
|
But with the gravity of greed in all the lies we intercede |
|
We take the pressure off the seat of those who revel in defeat |
