Can’t even describe the pain of seeing you crumble. It’s divided we fall and I’m seeing us stumble. I’ve got this weight on my shoulders and I think we’re in trouble. So I wash away my dreams and watch them leave in a puddle with no rebuttal.
Then you fog up the mirrors with the smoke that you’re blowing. But we are the heroes and we are the chosen. The reason they fear us...’cause these guns are loaded. If they’re killing our people then we’re about to show them.
Locked and loaded.
Would you give up your rights just to feel like you’re safe? ‘Cause your freedom’s the price in The Divided States. Like some thieves in the night, no disguise on their face. ‘Cause we’re blind by the hype, seems we’re liking the taste of the violence incited on those that I hate. I don’t even know why, but they’ll die and it’s great. Wait...
Shame on me, they just fooled me again. This Patriotic Act’s going to do me in. Aim on me, they’ll recruit me and win. This Patriotic Act’s going to do me in.
And I could sign away my soul, you’ll take my life, take control. But not my pride. Take your toll, then I will find Satan’s throne. M16 in my hands. Me and my team have major plans. March my feet in blazing sand. Death is cheap, I’ll pay it back.
