 And we're at it again
 I turn around another
 fucking war  man  I don't
 know where to begin but
 I'll start  with the radical  leaders
 Their steps we're following
Running don't  go back  and
 fight  too many you'll lose
 (And as clowns you follow
 suit behind the blood
 Between the red
 and white and blue
 But it's too deep
 for you to see
 And everyone eventually
 will take the step
 Cause it's in sight you take
 the left I'll take the right
 I feel the hate you've built for
 me and I say pay attention baby)
As  they thank the Lord
 the blind can't see
 Like a plague  fed to
 the brain deadly disease
 Dm--C/E--F--Bb--Dm--C/E--Am--Bb
 But it wasn't a sin  a sorry
 life judging every action
 And as they're feeding
 your mind with this shit
 You forget  how to speak
 how to ask all the questions
 The business at hand  tonight
make  the people choose
 (I see another side in you but
 there's not much more I can do
 From on the outside looking
 in your government is listening
 To push you on the story of
 immortal father mortal son
 Give them your mind and all your
 wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)
 If they had  it their
 way I'd burn in hell
 And your future's  a fucking
 disaster can't  you see?
Give  them all the power and  your
future's  in desperate trouble baby
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
I'd run  away  tonight  with my mind
 still intact you gotta make it alright
Easier said  than done  with no place
 to hide and having no place to
Running  away  from condition  I see
 you but you're running  away  from
 Your scared  seductive system
 Dm--C/E--F--Bb--Dm--C/E--Am--Bb x2
 Drumbeats: Dm--
 Most would claim I live
 a lie  (I live a lie)
 When pointing  out
 it's easy  to predict
 these things
 (Predict these things)
 Every color has its
side  (I have my side)
 They live  together vote  and most
 embrace  these same dark times
 Please help us
 please save us
 Of course  they have
 control  we're all the same
 Up on the cross crucified  their problem
 drove the nail  and let Him rot
 Family and friends it  won't matter
in  the end I'm sure  they'll understand
Now  look at the world and
see how  the humans bleed
 As I sit  up here and wonder about
how  you sold your mind body and
soul Looking  at the fields so
green  I know  this sounds obscene
 I see you're living  for tomorrow but
 decisions  you have made will leave you empty
 Dm--Bb-C-Bb-A
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
I'd run  away  tonight  with my mind
 still intact you gotta make it alright
Easier said  than done  with no place
 to hide and having no place to--- run(Growl)
 Dm-- x8
 You've fallen  asleep in denial
 Look at the way we're dying
 How it ends I'll never know
 Just live your life blind like me
 Dm-- x8
