lyrics

I've seen a cross in the White House
Burning clandestine flames
A bitter pill to swallow
Were stuck in Plato's cave

I've seen the veil pulled over
The eyes of every man
Like a flag pulled over a casket
Like a shadow over this land

So eager to get in the coffin
So desperate to be satisfied
You're just gonna watch this country burn
And miss your chance to change the tide

Money is our new god now
The one that binds our fate
To all the grief and anguish
Trumping our love with hate

We buy our politicians
Counting in units now
Orders come from the cash flow
The where, the why, the how

We move around in circles
Repeating history
We've traded blatant slavery
For shackles eyes can't see

So patience cannot mend us
No, time's not on our side
There needs to be a movement
A chance to change the tide

So eager to get in the coffin
So desperate to be satisfied
You're just gonna watch this country burn
And miss your chance to change the tide

How many men will fall before we
Get a chance to tell another story
How many men will fall before we....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
When will you see the world behind your eyes
You're just gonna watch this country burn
And miss your chance to change the tide
