My bones carry me home
Through the back roads
Where I'm never exposed
And my cries are buried inside
I swallow my pride
Everyday my life closes in
And I wake another handshake
The system breaks whatever it takes away
Full force forever on course
Through the back roads
Through the back roads
Set back and losing my tact
In the tall grass
Where they're hunting in packs
On the warpath
Where they follow my tracks
My heart keeps skiping beats
And I'm counting breaths
This life has taken it's toll
Another lost soul in another black hole
And those sane are forever in pain
And I can't close my eyes for the fear of death
Exchanging love for war
Watch your dreams of freedom fall away (away)
Today (today)
And I can't close my eyes I've got nothing left
On course to lose it all
Smash your TV through the wall and pray (and pray)
Today (today)
You're free to do whatever they say
Mad men battle through rage
On the backpage
Found dead in his cage
In the rat race
Working minimum wage
No one sheds a tear for those left to die
My hands tied
I'm so damn tired
Left to hide with my spiritual guide
And those sane are forever in pain
The system breaks whatever it takes away
Exchanging love for war
Watch your dreams of freedom fall away (away)
Today (today)
And I can't close my eyes for the fear of death
One force to rule us all
Smash your TV through the wall and pray (pray)
Today (today)
You're free to do whatever they say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, ohhhhh
Oh, oh, ohhhhh
Compromise is blind till there's nothing left
Exchanging love for war
Watch your dreams of freedom fall away (away)
Today (today)
And I can't close my eyes for my last regrets
On course to lose it all
Smash your TV through the wall and pray
Today
I can't close my eyes for the fear of death
One force to rule us all
Stand your ground or look the other way (way)
Today (today)
You're free to do whatever they say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, ohhhhh
Oh, oh, ohhhhh
