Put your hands up in the air
And get the fuck on the ground
Boots to the back of my head
Another body left for dead
Abuse of power for liberty
Statism the blind cohort
Stripped of every right afforded of me
Our pet machine's latest casualty
A fucking m16 aimed at your family under the guise of our safety
This epidemic growing in the shadows
The few above the law have taken control
It's mass hysteria so we keep dancing
Tonight shut down the streets the new state is burning
A slap on the wrist but job well done
Another execution's televised
Official statement is another lie
The city's free from another bad guy
LSD synthasized ergotamine
Hysterical contagious dopamine
An indivisible nation that's divided
They sacrifice justice let's riot
We went to war, on exploited fears
Now it came home, our souvenir
Collective delirium, a starless midnight
The hands of plutocracy left no choice but to fight
Burden me with hate cuz I can't wait to clean the fucking slate
The silence of our friends changes my lens it's time to cleanse
This epidemic growing in the shadows
The few above the law have taken control
It's mass hysteria so we keep dancing
Tonight lets take the streets the blue scare is ending
They're burning witches as the fever rises
Phantom attackers all in different disguises
Delusion used to divide next is subjection
We've found the bleeding now lets cleanse the infection
I want to know why you gave up
When did it stop being your fight
Year after year it beat you down
You lost the fight but hide in flight
We find comfort in our lies
Blood thirsty savages, sent to civilize
Rape and colonize
Nothing changes the bombs will drop
We elect monster up to the top
Our capitol's named after a fraud
Don't change the laws change what we're taught
What's scaring everyone today
Go watch the circus cuz the bread has gone away
There are more than two choices
Divide with talking points and polarize our voices
Connect the world with a pipeline
They hide behind a job, the profits must rise
Out of the way, or everyone dies
