Anarchy Club - Changing Of The Guard lyrics

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 ripples we set in motion from cast stones Convincing ourselves we're all alone Even when we're together We turn our backs to missed opportunities Cast carelessly aside Like dirty needles and unused condoms In the alleys behind our churches Where all too often we're taught that There's just enough religion in the world To make us hate, but not enough to Make us love And Jesus wept Star spangled gang bangers brainwashed to believe that k**ing is the only way to live and You need to take to give After all, tell someone they're worthless long enough And they'll begin to believe it Once we fought for freedom of speech Nowadays the people that fought against it Wave it like a flag While having the audacity to cry equality 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 the mirror and reflect The truth is simple Divided we stand United we fall And in the end There will be no tears of sadness Or cheers of victory Just silence And a hopeful curiosity Of what will rise from the fall
