Laughter In A Police State
The governments say that it's what we need
Work until we die, serving someone else's greed
They separate, divide, but it's the same red blood we bleed
Rob us the fruit, but we always have the seed
People speaking out against what they see
Searching for the truth in the promises of liberty
People are imprisoned for what they believe
Or is it just propaganda?
Out of the gate, we're all quick to defend
The sellout position, white-washed of content
To our heart's discontent
To our heart's discontent
Too afraid of our failures
Faith and future unknown
Do we dare to reach beyond it?
Do we dare?
You screamed in my face, but I waited quietly
Religious leaders, politicians, and the lies you say
Economic poison of the enemy
Bottom of the bottle where the poor men stay
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
(Whoa oh oh) or is it just propaganda?
Out of the gate, we're all quick to defend
The sellout position, white-washed of content
To our heart's discontent
To our heart's discontent
Too afraid of our failures
Faith and future unknown
Do we dare to reach beyond it?
Do we dare stand alone?!
To stand alone
We stand alone!
Feel the pressure rising (whoa oh oh)
Feel the pressure rising (whoa oh oh)
Whoa oh oh
(Whoa oh oh) pressure rising
Push the future
Pressure rising
In the present, we
Pressure rising, push the future
In a house divided
In a house divided, whoa oh
In a house divided, we will
In a house divided, watch it fall!
Work until we die, serving someone else's greed
They separate, divide, but it's the same red blood we bleed
Rob us the fruit, but we always have the seed
People speaking out against what they see
Searching for the truth in the promises of liberty
People are imprisoned for what they believe
Or is it just propaganda?
Out of the gate, we're all quick to defend
The sellout position, white-washed of content
To our heart's discontent
To our heart's discontent
Too afraid of our failures
Faith and future unknown
Do we dare to reach beyond it?
Do we dare?
You screamed in my face, but I waited quietly
Religious leaders, politicians, and the lies you say
Economic poison of the enemy
Bottom of the bottle where the poor men stay
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
(Whoa oh oh) or is it just propaganda?
Out of the gate, we're all quick to defend
The sellout position, white-washed of content
To our heart's discontent
To our heart's discontent
Too afraid of our failures
Faith and future unknown
Do we dare to reach beyond it?
Do we dare stand alone?!
To stand alone
We stand alone!
Feel the pressure rising (whoa oh oh)
Feel the pressure rising (whoa oh oh)
Whoa oh oh
(Whoa oh oh) pressure rising
Push the future
Pressure rising
In the present, we
Pressure rising, push the future
In a house divided
In a house divided, whoa oh
In a house divided, we will
In a house divided, watch it fall!
