Forget the shadows of experimental bliss And all the efforts to consolidate our pride For we can fight just as well We can send them all to hell With all the pomp and production of a tidewater bell We are the ciphers of old and we'll do as we're told So long as units are sold throughout the night So many lines in the sand that we can't understand Revert to closing the ranks on every shortsighted plan
[Chorus] It's just society, anxiety Sometimes it's like the story never ends It's heresy, hypocrisy And through our ignorance we suffer our revenge So quick to throw the only truth we've ever known so far away
Too many times we've turned our backs on all the crimes And passed it off as borrowed time that's not our own But with the gravity of greed in all the lies we intercede We take the pressure off the seat of those who revel in defeat
