I made the call into my brain to clear the last generation, the useless and the damaged thoughts Don't swim around me with your useless criticisim / try to rate me and put me in my proper place I've heard the words you've tried to preach the ones you use now to berate me and push me down unpleasant holes And in uncertain times I find it's you who shrink and never face me. Go wallow in your useless souls.
[Chorus:] And now now the lights on you the one's who wanna push the world towards a war The bombs that fly toward you forgiven / unforgiven it's the world you want [repeat once] Why lend a heart towards you? You'd stab us in the back and then you'd burn the world!
Now in our sadness and our troubled times it's you that would hate me. I'll never understand your crimes. Destroy the masses / how would that affect your plight, intimidate me? You burn in your unrightous fire! A holy war, an oxymoron meant to startle or to shake me. But holy don't become a liar. You egg us on to spill your blood & once we're done will god forsake me and sink us all in troubles times?
[Chorus]
We gotta brace against the ones who'd sink us all in troubled times. We gotta face up to the ones who'd sink us all in troubled times.
