Glue Steal The Crown
[Verse 1]
How far would you go?
To steal the crown from the thief to be number one
And run the world with compassion and responsible gun
So far from the right, I can see the damage spreading
To the school yard fights, the project nights, embedding
The idea of pitting class versus the hungry
Just as complicated as pretty versus ugly
I'm something of an anarchist, with religious vision
A last minute addition to the left wing mission
It all started when I stumbled on a set of footprints
Big enough to step on a million sleeping children
I've tried to find remorse in knowing the enemy, well enough
To play by his rules singing conforming melodies
I swear the power fetish, let's us, get away with murder
In a third world country that we've never even heard of
Tyrants calling shots right outside your door
We've warned what was coming, but you don't listen anymore
[Chorus]
We were taught to always obey
(We were taught to always obey)
Now we must fight against what they say
(Now we must fight against what they say)
We were taught to always obey
(We were taught to always obey)
Now we must fight against what they say
(Now we must fight against what they say)
[Verse 2]
Survival of the fittest means survival of the quickest
It's a sickness to be a pacifist unintentional catalyst
For predators and tough guys, and every stereotype
So you better start speaking right, ?despite running city blocks, the well is pretty dry
Energy recycled into killing your own kind
But that's the 100 year plan working out perfect
The invisible giant watches the market and the circuit
Cannibalize itself, on material wealth
Now everyone plays for a team and never themselves
Big muscles and big bank accounts become synonymous
They persecute free thinkers like they use to do communists
Respect, it's all for a seven letter word
Learned from the first time God's voice was heard
That stirred beauty which corrupted man with contradiction
So now we live every day to get back what we're missing
[Chorus]
We were taught to always obey
(We were taught to always obey)
Now we must fight against what they say
(Now we must fight against what they say)
We were taught to always obey
(We were taught to always obey)
Now we must fight against what they say
(Now we must fight against what they say)
[Verse 3]
Warlords and Presidents, Gang leaders and Parliament
Warriors and Insurgents, Dictators and terrorists
Heroes hide in headlines but rebellions never mentioned
The struggle crumbles under corporate media's protection
They scare you into thinking you can't walk the city blocks
The Economy dies while the people struggle with the cops
One man's ego is enough to destroy a world
All it takes is attractive words and the power to be heard
In 2004 we've saw to many examples
History left bread crumbs the size of world wars
Follow me back, to day one, to unite people
Obey only yourself, don't get fooled by good and evil
In 2005 we have a chance to turn it around
Bush got reelected but they can't hold us down
The christian right wants moral values, but god is ashamed
They've been destroying the world in Jesus's name
