lyrics
We heard the sirens when you got pulled over by that tank
Hope your mandatory beating went well
If you resist a little bit they bring the cage
Then you’re just one of a hundred in a small cell
That’s how justice is dealt
We learn in school about the riots of 4003
When the totalitarians won the world war
Blood was rushing into sewers in the city streets
Blood of rebels that would dare dethrone our kind lords
But the peace was restored
I think we all agree, a life of servitude is better than death
So, what’s with all the dread
Cogs mustn’t misplace their steps or machines get upset
We’re living in the greatest age (since the system was gained)
With harmony among the twenty states that remain (now our brains have been trained)
We so adore the uniforms the court orders us to don (the blood is flushed by the rain)
Obey, and maybe you’ll stay safe (we drink to drain the hate away)
In every book a page or two is blackened out and burned
Like the bible says, don’t ask questions
Were you dumb enough to say you don’t believe those words?
No one gives two shits about your two cents
Thoughts belong in your head
Should the shadow council deem you guilty of what they say you’ve done
We know their judgment is just
I’m sure their dungeon’s tons of fun, insubordinate scum
We’re living in the greatest age (since the system was gained)
With harmony among the twenty states that remain (now our brains have been trained)
We so adore the uniforms the court orders us to don (the blood is flushed by the rain)
Obey, and maybe you’ll stay safe (we drink to drain the hate away)
We’re living in the greatest age (since the system was gained)
With harmony among the twenty states that remain (now our brains have been trained)
We so adore the uniforms the court orders us to don (the blood is flushed by the rain)
Obey, and maybe you’ll stay safe (the blood is flushed by the rain)
We drink to drain the hate away (the blood is flushed by the rain)
We’ve got to say we love this place
Only a traitor would complain
Hope your mandatory beating went well
If you resist a little bit they bring the cage
Then you’re just one of a hundred in a small cell
That’s how justice is dealt
We learn in school about the riots of 4003
When the totalitarians won the world war
Blood was rushing into sewers in the city streets
Blood of rebels that would dare dethrone our kind lords
But the peace was restored
I think we all agree, a life of servitude is better than death
So, what’s with all the dread
Cogs mustn’t misplace their steps or machines get upset
We’re living in the greatest age (since the system was gained)
With harmony among the twenty states that remain (now our brains have been trained)
