Silicon switch, cyborg sister
Telepath witch, artifice shifter
Kiss, kiss, bang! Quick-draw outlaw
One-part rebel, synergy southpaw
She sells what he knows all too well
We fell when streets became hell
False freedom, dash for cash
Pick a side, bitch. Peace won’t last
Oh no! Sick, sick, six
Buckshot boy, buy ‘em up quick
Minimal access, mass hysteria
Think fast, clear the area
Step aside, lay low as the G.M.O.
Mafioso goes postal
Freeze frame, static vision
Override the system
Best behavior, play the game
Treading softly, oh so tame
Blind betrayal, soul for sale
Stigmatizing without fail
Kill the context of the letter
Bigger, better muzzle fetters
Full disclosure, fatal blow
Logic weeps and madness grows
Chain reaction, light the fire
Time for silence to expire
Criminal citizen limits
Making watchmen into sinners
Ineffective measures
That inflict immoral pressure
Voices echo proud
Loyal subjects stand your ground
These truths we hold self-evident
Timeless right and precedent
All hail to the beast
Make way for the gore police
Life and liberty
Crown and country
Sky and sea
Children of this broken earth
Live for what it’s worth
Shift, shake, fade, blitz
Trigger-happy politics
Taking aim with twisted wit
Smoke and mirrors benefit
Divide and conquer, double standard
Hypocrites degrade and slander
Jagged split, snow-blind rift
Fabricating answers
Media machine montage
My, oh my! That’s what I thought
National dream on pause
Feedback loop, they never get caught
If I could be more submissive
We might relax and enjoy be stripped
Of stress and protection
Will and resolve
It’ll be a better place if we all get along
Lean utopian scene
Where the people say “yes”
And the grass is greener
But the gold goes and the hate shows
Learn from the past
It’s a long way home
Frozen glass, we tread on paper tension
Bitten back, affecting class
Waylaid from ascension
Turn up the heat. Take a look around
Free will on lockdown. Burn for the beat
Be the very best goddamn brainwashed battery
Oh no! Halogen halo, in-vitro, beneficial barcode
R.F.I.D. the kids. Keep ‘em safely on the grid
Sensors sweep. Tempers peak
The burden weighs
And makes us weaker
We must unite and
Let our cause prevail
Before it fails
If we take another step
We can be sure our fate is set
Choose the higher path
Do not falter, forge ahead
Turn the tide into a torrent
They cannot ignore it
Solid stance, sign your name
Free of fear and shame
One by one, searching souls
Awaken to the bitter cold
But we can bear it
Conviction calls for strength and merit
Before we bow our heads
Exalt the faithful dead
Paid in full with blood
Stand beside your brother
Timid men prefer their chains
To those we preach in vain
Some will rise
Others yet will bend
And then comply
Let the words of those
Who laid the standard
Be our guiding light
Follow in the footsteps
Of conviction, never compromise
Too much, too fast
All good things can never last
Build a better future
From the stain of oil and ash
