Woke up and my mouth had become a pool of blood for floating teeth
I nod my way through miles of rope strangling me
And I’m afraid to say
That I’m generally afraid of what’s next
From my own nihilism
To a country putting faith in presidents
We are cowards
Afraid of death
Even the strongest man alive hates to face the end
And you will suffer million petty deaths and hold your head high
American life is ‘live and let die’
That’s why they build walls
We can never get high enough while you puff-puff-puff
The walls stay up
History flows down repeating
This poverty is selling
No preservation at all
Destruction at least
We seek peace
But this life won’t provide that
Freedom’s a curse inside that
Need to escape – You can’t!
‘Need to protect the weak’ they vow
In the ivory towers they wait
In the rebel city streets we fight!
We may all be born slaves
But today we feel free [but today we feel free
From the crib to the grave
We are taught to behaved
But today we’ll all scream
In unison:
‘f#ck anything
We’re told to be
We think’
We will sing:
‘f#ck anything
We’re meant to be
We think’
Life ain’t sh#t but running out of time
Life ain’t sh#t but running on empty
And running out of money
Life ain’t sh#t but storming the mall
Life ain’t sh#t but holding your loved ones close
And having their backs when it matters most
We weren’t raised to walk alone
So when they say ‘you don’t need a crew’
It ain’t true
Just don’t roll with cowards and you’ll be cool
Ain’t nothing true but the blood in your veins
Fear is healthy, it’s part of your DNA
Not enough to live on in the absense of something we can build on
Not sure what I want
Pretty sure it’s not this, though
Still torn between saving the children
And burning it all to
We can live in sh#t of a spaceship
Nobody knows a thing
And I’m tried just hoping there’s something more to all of this
We may all be born slaves
But today we feel free [but today we feel free
From the crib to the grave
We are taught to behave
But today we’ll all scream
In unison:
‘f#ck anything
We’re told to be
We think’
We will sing:
‘f#ck anything
We’re meant to be
We think’
