For Us or Against Us
Turn your back and take a look
At what the world is really like
What is there for you and I?
Burn the candle at both ends
The options growing few
Something's wrong
Mounting pressure, social breakdown
A dying planet
Revolution, mass uprising
We're begging for it
Live for us, or live for them
The worker is the key
Shut outside, with no defense
Sweat and blood, for days and years
Hours wasted still
More to life than wealth and war?
The force of life, is dead of thirst
Golden years have turned to rust
Our spirits crushed
Our bodies bleed
Our throats are cut
And dreams of better times have turned to dust
For the last time, can you fuck off and die?
You made this world, and killed it
So rich that your cash has made you blind
You don't give a fuck about us
My patience is too thin to try
Your kind was made to suffer
By the powers we hold in time
Your life will soon be over
Our lives determined by the system's needs
Lost inside its cold machinery
Fucked for life, 'cause the base is paved
We whore ourselves out for a daily wage
For the last time, can you fuck off and die?
You made this world, and killed it
So rich that your cash has made you blind
You don't give a fuck about us
My patience is too thin to try
Your kind was made to suffer
By the powers we hold in time
Your life will soon be over
Their greed can turn such innocence to meat
Your contract signed, and with no mind to feed
The masses slave it while the masters feast
They feast
The sources of their lies, are hidden in the past
The essence of the truth, lies dead in the aftermath
Find another way, before the cause is lost
Pull yourself up, and we'll fight together
With us or not, there are no in-betweens
Try and think fast, or you won't be breathing
From this point, the only way is up
Time is running out, the door is slamming shut
The burden of a cost, may be too much
It takes a lot of lives, just to break the cycle
It takes a lot of hate, and takes a lot of luck
The sooner it's all done, we can finally say we're free
Burning (burning), our consciousness
The fire (fire) is spreading
The challenge (challenge) is waiting
At what the world is really like
What is there for you and I?
Burn the candle at both ends
The options growing few
Something's wrong
Mounting pressure, social breakdown
A dying planet
Revolution, mass uprising
We're begging for it
Live for us, or live for them
The worker is the key
Shut outside, with no defense
Sweat and blood, for days and years
Hours wasted still
More to life than wealth and war?
The force of life, is dead of thirst
Golden years have turned to rust
Our spirits crushed
Our bodies bleed
Our throats are cut
And dreams of better times have turned to dust
For the last time, can you fuck off and die?
You made this world, and killed it
So rich that your cash has made you blind
You don't give a fuck about us
My patience is too thin to try
Your kind was made to suffer
By the powers we hold in time
Your life will soon be over
Our lives determined by the system's needs
Lost inside its cold machinery
Fucked for life, 'cause the base is paved
We whore ourselves out for a daily wage
For the last time, can you fuck off and die?
You made this world, and killed it
So rich that your cash has made you blind
