lyrics

We all keep secrets
Ones we hold so close, but never say
We're all degenerates
Sinning in our own unassuming way
So when they tell you you're wrong
What makes you think that they're right anyway
Cause they all got their secrets
Secrets that they hold so close but never say

So the pain just goes on and on and on and on and on again

We don't care about people from foreign places
We don't care about families, only the colour of their faces
We can afford to buy a fleet of predator drones, but we can't afford water to first nations homes
And it goes, it goes, like greed run from a bloody nose
You're bleeding on your sunday clothes
Do you know where taxes go?
Corporate bailouts or affordable homes.

So just take a piece of my soul

This voilence becomes the norm
Deafened ears in a thunderstorm
Your soul is worth more when it's left alone
Vulnerable and overexposed
Even christ inherited a golden crowd
Money makes this world go round
Your indifference keeps us all chained down

We learned to split the atom
Can drop tungsten from space
We can decimate this planet
But can't solve plastic waste
And i guess you can say i don't like the results
We were promised teleports but got religious cults
Do you hear it? do you feel that pain?
Billions of people all shaking their chains
There's no life after
No rebirth within
If hell exists, it's a corporation

So take a piece of our souls

This voilence becomes the norm
Deafened ears in a thunderstorm
Your soul is worth more when it's left alone
Vulnerable and overexposed
Even christ inherited a golden crowd
Money makes this world go round
Your indifference keeps us all chained down

The boot never changes
The wearer's the same
It pushes you down in the ground just the same

The boat never changes
The captain's the same
Full steam a head just to weather the waves
