Battle Lines

Know the nation you keep
Identify and feed them their grief
Cut them off from the people
Take each cell and repeat
Assign their trouble to the unseen
Then protected you'll be

Make dull chaos the rule
Reduce their spirit and you'll find soon
They'll be too weak to fight you
(By the will of God our power is total)
Fake a disaster state
The enemy will make itself plain

For in a world that never takes a form
The battle lines are gone
And war is always on
Somehow
But we are all the soldiers now

I see blood in my dreams
A beaten face
The gas
The streets
A screen

So we shall do our mothers proud
If we are all the soldiers now

I surrender
And I relinquish all my weapons
We together
Are terrifying asking a question
I surrender
And I relinquish all my weapons
We together
Are terrifying asking a question

I know what I wanna go get
And I ain't gonna make it complicated
We lay down the law in this place
So you don't need to save us
I know what I wanna go get
And I ain't gonna make it complicated
We lay down the law in this place
So you don't need to say-to say-to say
