Hammer Down - Strung Out

I don’t want the world you bled for me

Standing at the edge of reality

I can see beyond these eyes

That something here just isn’t right

Support a war and the walls that keep you in

Take a side and don’t let your brother in

Intimidate the threat you can’t deny is something in your heart

We are not invisible to the suffering we know

They lied

About the sky and moon

They ride together to our doom

When we get it right

For one moment then it’s gone

Might be enough to carry us and together we’ll drag on and on

Medicate then slowly subjugate

Arm the hate and film it for the race

Marching out to be the face

Of a nation lost in its disgrace

I don’t want the world you bled for me standing at the edge of reality

I can see beyond these eyes

If you cross me twice there’s gunna be a fight

I sleep with one eye open as America she sings to me

We dream like desperados

Sleeping on our empty graves

Only to find we lost ourselves

In the memory of better days

One would never take us

One would put us underground

The other wept like flowers

Blooming on your grave
