Song lyrics
And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man
I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders
Their steps we're followin'

Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood
Between the red and white and blue
But it's too deep for you to see
And everyone eventually will take the step
Cause it's in sight you take the left I'll take the right
I feel the hate you've built for me and I say pay attention baby)

As they thank the Lord, the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life judging every action
And as they're feeding your mind with this shit
You forget how to speak, how to ask all the questions

The business at hand tonight, make the people choose
(I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do
From on the outside looking in your government is listenin'
To push you on the story of immortal father mortal son
Give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)

If they had it their way I'd burn in hell
And your future's a fuckin' disaster, can't you see?
Give them all the power and your future's in desperate trouble baby

As they thank the Lord, the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to...
Running away from condition, I see you but you're running away from
Your scared seductive system

Most would claim I live a lie (I live a lie)
When pointing out it's easy to predict these things (Predict these things)
Every color has its side (I have my side)
They live together vote and most embrace these same dark times

Please help us, please save us
Of course they have control we're all the same
Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot
Family and friends, it won't matter in the end I'm sure they'll understand

Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
As I sit up here and wonder bout how you sold your mind, body and soul
Looking at the fields so green, I know this sounds obscene
I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease
I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact I've gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to run

You've fallen asleep in denial
Look at the way we're dying
How it ends I'll never know
Just live your life blind like me

Wow, the electric guitars are amazing! And the lyrics are pretty complicated but hey..a7X rules all the way! A great song to listen to when you're angry.

Yea the drums sound similar to Mettalica's "One" but in actuallity, it's just a really fast double bass intro. Nothing special about it. Awesome song though.
