Drowning screams in the throes of violence Crying children met with silence Hands stained with the blood of your kin Another day in the paradise of your sin The dollar molds your minds, breeds inaction Close your eyes as we complete the transaction When will you swallow your pride, your excuses You're not above the pain your world produces So young yet so numb to calamity Hide the truth under a thin veil of vanity You are the very definition of insanity A world view, fabricated by a few Who rule, those who control you Sit in silence as society tears Post your pathetic thoughts and prayers Oh how the mighty have fallen Standing idle as you get walled in Lock yourselves in your echo chamber The noise just grows, feeding your anger The walls all rise by a formal decree Oh what a shame for the land of the free A few rise from the flood of the ignorance Try to speak but are silenced by permanence Crowds drowned by the cry of battle Resonance from the emptiest barrel A world view, fabricated by a few Who rule, those you look up to Sit in silence as society tears Post your pathetic thoughts and prayers Post your pathetic thoughts and prayers Sit in silence as society tears, Fuck your pathetic thoughts and prayers Wake up, smell your hipocrisy You call this shitshow a democracy Cast your vote, heads or tails A front row seat to when the system fails Sit in silence as society tears Fuck your pathetic thoughts and prayers
