lyrics
weary citizens hustle the pavement
and i cannot spare a solitary dime
shooting songbirds with barreled shotguns
unleash the murder to summon some truth
demarcations of death and achievement
in prominent places up on high
hey thanks for asking i'm doing just "fine."
another smile and nod to perpetuate that lie
where's the sound of protest drums?
voices inside have gone numb
on pins and needles, the mental status quo
we drop the social hammer upon the ones that stand up
we drop the social hammer upon the ones that stand up
we need and succeed with unbridled uniformity
where's the sound of protest drums?
voices inside have gone numb
sleepwalking. it's exhausting me
