THE GUILT AND THE GLORY


From day one they say "listen to me". 
You are born with eyes but they're not to see 
Keep looking straight ahead and don't let them stray. 
Don't question anything, don't think or debate 
Because you've seen it once before and you'll see it again 
The strange disappearances of those who are the same 
The same as the people who fight for their rights 
Then backstab each other in middle of the night 
The whining freedom anthem songs 
Sacrifice the lot to end all the wrongs 
"A few lives ruined but we still have the songs" 
But the troops are marching on and on and on 

We sing our own songs; we choose our own ways 
You try to ignore us, but we'll never go away 
Looking down on us from your privilege and greed 
Taking all you can and making others bleed 
Destroying all you touch now your answers are through 
I'm sure we can do better than you 
The left wing manifesto, the right wing sham 
Tells us we can't, but I tell you we can 
They might tell us we can't but I know that we can 
Stuff your lies, you know we can, we can
