Ivory Tower

False gods!

There are more criminals among us
Than behind cold prison walls
They stand on podiums above us
False promises masked within their calls

Powers that lead, fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal, paint themselves in innocence

Powers that lead, fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal, paint themselves in innocence

What will we do? 'cause the fire is in our own backyard
What will we do? 'cause the fire is in our own backyard

Powers that be, fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal, dress themselves in abhorrence

Powers that be, fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal, dress themselves in abhorrence

How can we, can we change? What does not want to change
How can we have a voice? While our mouths are sewn shut

False gods!

A simple smile can only hide so much
This behavior is predictable
And must be treated as such
They'll always use our hope as their crutch

Powers that lead, fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal, paint themselves in innocence

Powers that be, fail to set precedent
Lie, cheat, fake, steal, dress themselves in abhorrence

What will we do? 'cause the fire is in our own backyard
What will we do? 'cause the fire is in our own backyard

How can we change, can we change? What does not want to change
How can we have a voice? While our mouths are sewn shut

We'll shrug our shoulders and accept the fact that we're all just fucked

We're all fucked
We're all fucked

What will we do? 'cause the fire is in our backyard
We're all fucked
What will we do? 'cause the fire is in our backyard
We're all fucked
