lyrics

Again my testimony Is put behind the lens
cuz were the only ones, still,
Who haven’t given in.
And at what length is ‘growing up’
Accepted as defense
for taking back all the F A C T S
You once called common sense.

‘Giving in’ & ‘growing up’
Are very different things
Giving in means forfeiture
Growth strengthens sense of being
And for all the kids - all your friends,
Who now watch you walk away?
We’ve heard the plea of both before;
and to us, they mean the same….

If our legacy’s determined
By decisions that we’ve made,
You’re ever-changing moral code
Have crowned you as a “F A K E”.
Cuz respect flows not from fountains
But is nurtured like a son
Your “choices” once called “promises”
Have all but come undone

So like a landmine being triggered
Like warhead hit the ground
the blast shakes down my being
and then: I feel it pound

Pound... pound...pound...
these nails into my hands
ashamed to wear this badge
than leave it like a man

pound...pound...pound
these bricks over my head
FORGET YOU ONCE BELIEVED IN US
GO RUN WITH THEM INSTEAD
