Lyrics
the sky is painted black
the smoke pours out the stack
one hand upon your heart
one hand behind your back
you train us how to act
you keep the fear intact
the imminent attack
everything is right on track
and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it
upon our plates to feed
the dying left to bleed
how much we really need
your politics of greed
the cancer takes ahold
the wolf is in the fold
our destiny’s been sold
we do just what we’re told
and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it
your armies filled with hate
believing your charade
begin to suffocate
for us it’s far too late
and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it
the smoke pours out the stack
one hand upon your heart
one hand behind your back
you train us how to act
you keep the fear intact
the imminent attack
everything is right on track
and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it
upon our plates to feed
the dying left to bleed
how much we really need
your politics of greed
the cancer takes ahold
the wolf is in the fold
our destiny’s been sold
we do just what we’re told
and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it
your armies filled with hate
believing your charade
begin to suffocate
for us it’s far too late
and we are letting you get away
we are letting you get away with it
