lyrics

Honest truth be told
Yet another time
Bout them seeking gold
The never enough kind
To get power & control
They buy legal bribes
Wanna let yall know
We can't let that go
They want us to fold
Give 'em all our dime
Shoot from a grassy knoll
Don't bother to hide
Live out of a fancy mold
Only we provide
We can stop it though
We just have to know

All them lies & justifying
A way to behave
It's not normal
To need a medal
Deaf & blind to the signs
Leadin to their graves
They oughta know
We won't let go

Willingly you frame
& destroy people's lives
But when you play that game
Be prepared to dive
Think we don't share same
Instincts to survive
With all that we know
How long can you hold?
You want the easy fame
While we do the grind
Aren't you a bit ashamed
Not a single time
“'was there to take” you claim
How's your peace of mind?
When it's time to go
Which way will you throw?

All them lies & justifying
Your way to behave
And after the climb
You sure you'll be fine?
Deaf & blind to the signs
Leadin to your graves
You oughta know
We die alone
