lyrics

Slip the chain
Deny the yoke
With casual blatancy
Your unceasing preoccupation
Is their agency

The end of days is not delayed
Every night when you lay your head down to sleep
The loudest scorn will not go quiet
If you don’t make a peep

They say the empty barrel makes the loudest noise
And a failure will not be outdone
I am not looking to place blame
But the Devil you know
Is the only one

I’m not the man you decided to hate
But I have as many bones
I’m not inclined to speak with you
In his ungraceful tones

In your careful dates
Among the heavyweights
Do you bring your boundless impatience
When you see corruption
Do you mild your mind
With constant complacence

Do you see
The profits riding on the war
The prophets writing on the wall
When you witness the unspeakable
Do you speak at all

Did I see you spray paint “Revolution”
On City Hall’s wall
Was it you sitting on shoulders
But standing tall
Did I hear you say you’d stand with your country
No matter what it chose to do
One way or another
This too shall pass
And so will you
