a cynical look at the times i see from my bedroom window...
lyrics
Oh now it's time/time to begin/where will we go/ how will it end/they'd kill us for food/how rude they have been/Illegal to love/ "the enemy within"/with gods on their mark/where humans have died/they offered up arms/where heavens collide/ there they stood to the left/ there they stood to the right/ they stood on our backs still they couldn't decide/they'll look in your eyes and feed you lies till you spin/then put you on ice and note the places you've been/and how hard we tried to make the devil our friend/ the demon is wise and he's shedding his skin/ On capitol hill the little devils arrive/with snakes up their sleeves and sales on the rise/and here in OUR town the snakes have come no surprise/ what have they done to my home? What have you done to my kind?/Backwards we climb to Dark ages we swim/ your stars have aligned/ O' the Wars you will win/ I don't fear your size/ I'm not afraid of your friends/ Because i'm the one you denied/ I'm the original sin/Bitch all you want/ all kidding aside/ there's more money in poison then all the farmlands combined/ the monsters we fight are the ones voted in/ I can't believe my own eyes I think they're "leading" again/ Oh now it's time/ time for the end/ where have we gone/ where have we been/ we settle in tight where dreams go to swim/ it's just a matter of time before the demons get in/ With gods on their mark/ where humans have died/ they handed down charms and forced us to side/ A line in the sand/ The oil in the vines/ The blood on their hands/ Looks like they're doing just fine...All Hope is Lost
