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
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
