Renegades
The lobbyists are mustering
An congress filibustering
Procrastinating, delegating
Multitudes are suffocating
And the bullets sing
"Oh let freedom ring"
A rerun for the next school
Dismantle it for miniscule
Another senseless tragedy
Is blotted out for apathy
From the trading floor
They watch as their profits soar
{Pre-Chorus}
Sing you myths of laissez faire
Close your fists you billionaires
Hide behind your forefathers
Close your eyes to our sons and daughters
As we whisper lullabies
Jesus Christ, don't lеt them die
Renеgades--will be tearing down your barricades
Renegades--hear the riots from your motorcades
Renegades
Huddled masses storm your palisades
Renegades
Make your fortune while daylight fades
The congressmen are concubines
For lobbyists who feed them their lines
Who Frankentein some pantomime
Some crying over Columbine
Yes your capital
It swarms with cannibals
When some other people's kids are shot
They chalk it up as an afterthought
They load their guns and reminisce
And tell us it's just business
They hope we'll overlook
The halls at Sandy Hook
{Pre-Chorus}
Sing you myths of laissez faire
Close your fists you billionaires
Hide behind your forefathers
Close your eyes to our sons and daughters
As we whisper lullabies
Jesus Christ, don't let them die
Renegades--will be tearing down your barricades
Renegades--hear the riots from your motorcades
Renegades--huddled masses storm your palisades
Renegades--make your fortune while daylight fades
And the Son of God
You call Him Prince of Peace
You want His worshippers
To make your sales increase
And the Son of God
All clothed in all righteousness
You want His followers
But not the pacifists
You want your ledgers black
We want our children back
Renegades--will be tearing down your barricades
Renegades--hear the riots from your motorcades
Renegades--huddled masses storm your palisades
Renegades--make your fortune while daylight fades
Renegades
{Outro}
An congress filibustering
Procrastinating, delegating
Multitudes are suffocating
And the bullets sing
"Oh let freedom ring"
A rerun for the next school
Dismantle it for miniscule
Another senseless tragedy
Is blotted out for apathy
From the trading floor
They watch as their profits soar
{Pre-Chorus}
Sing you myths of laissez faire
Close your fists you billionaires
Hide behind your forefathers
Close your eyes to our sons and daughters
As we whisper lullabies
Jesus Christ, don't lеt them die
Renеgades--will be tearing down your barricades
Renegades--hear the riots from your motorcades
Renegades
Huddled masses storm your palisades
Renegades
Make your fortune while daylight fades
The congressmen are concubines
For lobbyists who feed them their lines
Who Frankentein some pantomime
Some crying over Columbine
Yes your capital

When some other people's kids are shot

They load their guns and reminisce

{Pre-Chorus}
Sing you myths of laissez faire
Close your fists you billionaires
Hide behind your forefathers
Close your eyes to our sons and daughters
