Civil War
Intro
"You say you're the last line of defense. You say you're the guardians of liberty. But when the boot actually comes down on the working man... you just ask 'em what flavor polish they're wearing."
Intro
Verse 1
Look at the fear you're feeding
Look at the rights you're ceding
To the talking heads in the tailored suits
Selling you ghosts while they steal the roots
You're shadowboxing a made-up crime
While the ruling class is robbing you blind
You bought the bunker, you bought the lies
But you can't see the cage right in front of your eyes
Pre-Chorus
You're shouting 'bout freedom and drawing a line
But you swallow the poison and say it tastes fine
You got the stockpile ready for the final stand
But you're licking the palm of the tyrant's hand!
Chorus
You got an arsenal locked in the basement deep!
While the wolves are herding the brainwashed sheep!
You cry about tyranny, but you bless the crown
When the real chains come, you're bowing down!
So tell me, with your cosplay and your holy war...
What are they good for? (Huh!)
Tell me, what are you saving 'em for?!
Verse 2
You draped yourself in a sacred flag
Got the tactical gear and the heavy bag
But you’re cheering the state when it crosses the line
Just as long as the target ain't your kind
It’s a hollow rebellion, a televised script
A patriot act with the ammo stripped
You’re fighting your neighbors for a billionaire’s prize
While the actual liberties wither and die!
Pre-Chorus
You're shouting 'bout freedom and drawing a line
But you swallow the poison and say it tastes fine
You got the stockpile ready for the final stand
But you're licking the palm of the tyrant's hand!
Chorus
You got an arsenal locked in the basement deep!
While the wolves are herding the brainwashed sheep!
You cry about tyranny, but you bless the crown
When the real chains come, you're bowing down!
So tell me, with your cosplay and your holy war...
What are they good for? (Huh!)
Tell me, what are you saving 'em for?!
Bridge
My hands are tied.
Your mind is bought.
Look at the wars that you never fought.
You wait for a signal that’s never gonna come!
Under the thumb! Under the thumb!
Chorus
You got an arsenal locked in the basement deep!
While the wolves are herding the brainwashed sheep!
You cry about tyranny, but you bless the crown
When the real chains come, you're bowing down!
So tell me, with your cosplay and your holy war...
What are they good for? (Huh!)
Outro
What are they good for? (Huh)
Just rust in the dark.
Just rust... in the dark.
What we've got here... is a failure to activate.
