In The Fingernails

There's a new war starting in the world today
To halve the have-nots while we look away
In the game of empire's pawns, we fall right through the chessboard

I will not fall for the black and white
Armed with no options, we're ghosts in the fight
I won't pull the trigger on the world for you

Underground in every city, eye to eye
Defined by our choices, not where we divide
In every city, ear to ear
I hear the echoes of another way, every living day

And I know that I am not alone

Inside, I know the fault lies with us
Too guarded to contact, too frightened to trust
Someone's heroes are someone's terrorists

I watch the elites fall over themselves
To squeeze blood from a stone
I won't sell out my reasoning
And I know that I am not alone

In every city, eye to eye
Defined by our choices, not where we divide
Underground in every city, ear to ear
I hear the echoes of another way, every living day

And I know that I am not alone
I hear the echoes

And I will not fall for the black and the white
Armed with no options, we're ghosts in the face
I won't pull the trigger on the world for you
