lyrics

Smearing on paint
Reason and shame
Fall away
Beating back those
Who fuck up the
Devout way
Swelling of arms
And making fists
Spreading fear
Join or be killed
The menu is
Pretty clear

Cheering for death
At the slightest
Threat of change
Making sure the
Winners always
Stay the same
Steady currents
Of hatred flow
In the air
Bubbling up
Until the words
Detonate

We gotta take
We gotta fight
We gotta kill

Our greatest fear
Is to be seen as weak
Encouraging
Psychopathy as strength
We’re ready to
Commit atrocities
In the name of
Our great democracy

Eating up all
The blood and war
On TV
Desensitized
From all the pornography
Fiery eyes
Yearning to make
You believe
Biting down hard
The venom will
Help you see

Jumping in sand
Doing the dance
Beating the drums
Feeding the
Flames of arrogance
Open the sky
And set us free
Raining down hate
Behind
Moral supremacy
Picking up stones
And smashing skulls
Soaking the blood
Into tapestries of
Greatness
Beat you again
Beat you again
Until you can
Understand

Freedom from shame
Inflicting pain
The strong always
Eat the weak
No more talking
And No more facts
We’ll pull out guns
And shoot you dead
Carrying hate
Of those before
Training our young
To carry it forward
In the name of
Our greatness we
Burn it all down
Do you see
