Contentious
No matter how hard I try to imagine peace
There always seems to be
Someone reminding me of reality
Lets try to sleep
I close my eyes and dig inside until I arrive on the other side
Sometimes I'll find just enough to get me by
Keep it up and eventually it becomes my reality
Again a struggled attempt
No even worth a cent
Its ignorant to think
Many a time someone said
It'll leave you bent
Lets just forget
In this knee deep thick shit
We're all in it 'till we find an end
Bound and bruised and filled with poison
Find your medicine
Churches and bullies and bums on the street
They all have a reason to be fighting
Politicians and kings are always stealing and lying
They all have a reason to be fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
I bet you wish you hadn't sold your soul
What could I have been thinking
Living in a dream
Expecting one to be giving
Me everything everything everything
Lordy lordy
And it has come to pass that they have smite thee
And unto our face is the shame and disbelief
That our own people have betrayed the ones they claim to be
For thine will be done and believed to be righteous in the slaying of others in thy name
For it is good and it is right
I guess its time to do
What I've been told by you
Its either bought or sold
Or stolen with no remorse
I'll take my time
Rewire what is mine
Open my heart
And fill it with something dark
I'll take my time
Rewire what is mine
Open my heart
And fill it with something dark
Churches and bullies and bums on the street
They're constantly fighting
Politicians and kings stealing and lying
They're constantly fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
There always seems to be
Someone reminding me of reality
Lets try to sleep
I close my eyes and dig inside until I arrive on the other side
Sometimes I'll find just enough to get me by
Keep it up and eventually it becomes my reality
Again a struggled attempt
No even worth a cent
Its ignorant to think
Many a time someone said
It'll leave you bent
Lets just forget
In this knee deep thick shit
We're all in it 'till we find an end
Bound and bruised and filled with poison
Find your medicine
Churches and bullies and bums on the street
They all have a reason to be fighting
Politicians and kings are always stealing and lying
They all have a reason to be fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
I bet you wish you hadn't sold your soul
What could I have been thinking
Living in a dream
Expecting one to be giving
Me everything everything everything
Lordy lordy
And it has come to pass that they have smite thee
And unto our face is the shame and disbelief
That our own people have betrayed the ones they claim to be
For thine will be done and believed to be righteous in the slaying of others in thy name
For it is good and it is right
I guess its time to do
What I've been told by you

Or stolen with no remorse
I'll take my time
Rewire what is mine
Open my heart
And fill it with something dark
I'll take my time
Rewire what is mine
Open my heart
And fill it with something dark
Churches and bullies and bums on the street
They're constantly fighting
Politicians and kings stealing and lying
They're constantly fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
Fighting fighting
