The New Brutality
(album: Paradise)
They´ve got an army of accountants counting matchsticks,
And an arsenal of distraction tactics.
They´ll use our senses against us:
Manipulating desire and consensus.
And they´ll use guns,
They´ll use tear gas.
I can hear the sound of boots on broken plate glass.
We´ll use song as inspiration.
To be the rust in their machines is our intention.
It´s time.
We´ve got to set it right, but these devils can´t be fought with fists.
Dissent; they want to shut it down.
Just run your mouth, boy, you´ve made their list.
I lie down with one eye open now,
I know that sleep is the cousin of death.
The hammer´s swinging down...
Fight back until your last breath.
You wonder why we always play it safe?
Our comforts are tying us down,
And holding us back.
