Album:

The Slip

the sky is painted black 
the smoke pours out the stack 
one hand upon your heart 
one hand behind your back 
you train us how to act 
you keep the fear intact 
the imminent attack 
everything is right on track 


and we are letting you get away 
we are letting you get away with it 


upon our plates to feed 
the dying left to bleed 
how much we really need 
your politics of greed 
the cancer takes ahold 
the wolf is in the fold 
our destiny's been sold 
we do just what we're told 


and we are letting you get away 
we are letting you get away with it 


your armies filled with hate 
believing your charade 
begin to suffocate 
for us it's far too late 


and we are letting you get away 
we are letting you get away with it
