Anarchy Club Changing Of The Guard
My eyes have seen the glory
Of all that we could be
And shed tears for all we are not
Complacent, obedient worker bees
Assimilate the simulation
To be all we can be
As seen on TV
Ever blinded by humanity's vanity
Oblivious to the ripple we set in motion
From cast stones
And convincing ourselves we're all alone
Even when we're together
We turn our backs to missed opportunities
Cast carelessly aside like unused condoms
And dirty needles in the alleys
Behind our churches
Where all too often we're taught
That there's just enough religion in the world to teach us hate
But not enough to make us love...
And Jesus wept...
Star-spangled gangbangers
Brainwashed to believe that
Killing is the only way to live
And that you need to take to give
After all, tell someone they're worthless
Long enough and they begin to
Believe it
Once we fought for freedom of speech
Nowadays the people who fought against it
Wave it like a flag
While having the audacity to cry "equality"
All the while, addicted to the notion
That there must always be an enemy
At the root of all of our problems
Never taking the time to look in a mirror
And reflect
The truth is simple
Divided we stand
United we fall
And in the end
There wil be no tears of sadness
Or cheers of victory
Just silence
And a hopeful curiosity of
What will rise from the fall...
