lyrics

Welcome back – We’ve been waiting on a maniac
You look a little insomniac
And now you’re going to peel the years right back
Peel the years right back
Well you should have been a soldier – you were ready for a fight
But you throw your punches on the page – safely out o sight
The best of educations in the good old fashioned way
Tell ‘em what they need don’t let the facts get in the way

You might say that its all institutional
And I’m a little over tired and emotional
Some day you may be all held accountable
Dehumanise propagandise and history repeats
And history repeats – And history repeats

One day a rain will come and wash the scum right off the streets
Like every psychopath you have no grasp of empathy

My oh my – What a criminal twisted lie
Your fooling half the people all the time
There’s even less to you than meets the eye
You’re over amplified

And nothing really changes maybe better the devil you know
But they’re slowly creeping in on the right and they’re ready to steal the show
They raise a flag they claim to won and shed a noble tear
They spark the fire crawl under the wire and swiftly disappear

One day a rain will come and wash the scum right off the streets
Like every psychopath you have no grasp of empathy
Defend the status quo you know it must not be defeated
And to protect yourself you try to keep the stupid, stupid
You try to keep the stupid, stupid
You try to keep the stupid, stupid
