Corporate Cross

Where we last cast off felt like a place of change
To where the face was a face that we believed would mend
The burning crosses and dead souls that died for amendment
Running riot in a town that bigots fail to mention
Well if the regulations
Meant you can get away with this
Well then the people can't help
But feeling used and cheated
Now you stand on your pedestal begging all to hear
While your followers reduce to reproducing fear
Left in the heart of man
From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass
Left in the heart of man
From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass
You say the heavens have sent you to fix this mess
But now you're counting the dollars and never making sense
The world won't stay blind forever
The broken backs and calloused hands
Will strangle the throat that left the poor to beg
But for the last time we stand tall
With heads high when we're left broke
But now you stand on your pedestal begging all to hear
While your followers reduce to reproduce fear
Left in the heart of man
From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass
Left in the heart of man
From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass
Left in the heart of man
From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass
Left in the heart of man
From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass
I've got no fucking respect for you
Your story can't convince me to join you
With all my demons and insecurities
Peace in my head will fucking kill me
So here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open it up and fucking rescue the people
Here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open it up and fucking rescue the people
Left in the heart of man
Open it up and fucking rescue the people
Left in the heart of man
From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass
So here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open it up and fucking rescue the people
Left in the heart of man
From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass
