Like a shot without a warning
Lies a life that’s left behind
And though I try
It’s something I
Just can’t unsee, it’s burned into my mind

And I wake up in the morning
News keeps flashing on my eyes
These dying streets are bruised and beaten
And riot flags are waving
Poor and weak, we extend this streak
These lives we could be saving
Life is cheap I sit and weep cause there’s just no mistaking
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
The rules don’t matter anymore
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
And you don’t matter anymore

The better angels of our nature
Well they’ve gone away to hide
Brutality
I can’t unsee
These pictures are just burned into my mind

It’s commotion in slow motion
It’s humanity denied
A violent race
Punch in the face
With all this hate how can we all survive?

And if a change is coming
What makes it take so long?
And if a change is coming
Why sing the same old song?
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
The rules don’t matter anymore
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
And you don’t matter anymore
This is not utopia

The roots of America
Are the roots of hysteria
And you don’t matter anymore

So now how long must we wait?
Until love conquers hate?
And heal these hearts
Cause it all starts
Right here

We’re gonna hang ‘em high
We’re gonna shoot straight up in the air
This eye is for an eye
Don’t need to ask and don’t need to care

But don’t be thinking we’re crazy
When you see all the hell that we’re raising
Don’t be thinking we’re crazy
Cause the truth is what we’re erasing

And so I
I’m doing it all for you
I’m doing it all for you

Oh baby let the bad times roll
Machiavelli flow
Hey Lincoln, how does your grave roll?
Take what’s right and make it wrong
Make it up as I go along
Let me know when you decide
Apathy or suicide
Oh baby let the bad times roll

Now it was all a lie
But that bitch won’t get in my way
Keep shoutin’ what I like – lock her up lock her up
Now that’s a good one I gotta say

But don’t be thinking we’re crazy
When you see all the hell that we’re raising
Don’t be thinking we’re crazy
Cause the truth is what we’re erasing

And so I
I’m turning my back on you
I’m turning my back on you

Oh baby let the bad times roll
On a stripper pole
Ya fuck it let the bad times roll
Mexicans and blacks and Jews
Got it all figured out for you
Gonna build a wall let you decide
Apathy or suicide
Oh baby let the bad times roll

Tell me how do I reach you when all I see is a stare?
How do you look for the signs when nothing is there?
So you think
When the water won’t cut the flame
And the anger drives you insane
Tell me how does it look from behind your walls of pain?

Tell me how do I reach you when all I see is a stare?
How do you look for the signs when nothing is there?
So you think
When you just can’t take anymore
And the last lights fade from the shore
Tell me how does it look from behind your walls of pain?

I’ve been thinking
Spend my time worrying
About the way you don’t seem the same
Hoping, waiting
For back to how you were again
There’s gotta be something I can say

When the faces all look the same
And the angels cry out your name
Tell me how does it look from behind your walls of pain?

I’ve been thinking
Spend my time worrying
About the way you don’t seem the same
Hoping, waiting
For back to how you were again
There’s gotta be something I can say

Tell me how do I reach you when all I see is a stare?
How do you look for the signs when nothing is there?
So you think
But I’m stepping out on the ledge
So before you go over the edge
Tell me how does it look from behind your walls of pain?

And the world keeps on turning
As we all come undone
While the lost keep on searching
I’m the army of one

We are one but I don’t belong
It’s hard to feel love, when you’ve been wronged
But I keep on pushing on toward that light
The daylight’s gone, and I am night

Feel that blow with a stinging pain
It’s always your eyes, that give it away
If I’m staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Then I’ll spit in your eye, cause I’m the army of one

And the world keeps on turning
As we all come undone
While the lost keep on searching
I’m the army of one

We are one with blood and rage
It’s hard to feel hope when you’re filled with pain
But we keep on running on through the night
Resisting despair with all our might

Carry on, even when you cannot cope
Survival is digging in against all hope
For me, I’ll never give up till the day I’m done
Cause I’m burning alive, I’m the army of one

And the world keeps on turning
And we all die alone
Broken hearts keep on searching
I’m the army of one

Lights out and pull the shades
Look back on better days
Alone now with this pain that’s burning
No one feels like me

I blacken all the walls
I’m blocking all the calls
Once here but now you’re gone
It’s hurting, and so

Here in my room
Dark as my soul
Tears are the weight
Breaking these bones

Lockdown and close the door
I’ve heard it all before
That time can heal our wounds
If only I could turn back time

I’m reaching far behind
Without you I am blind
Once here but now you’re gone
It’s hurting, and so

Here in my room
My bed is my throne
Grief is the weight
Breaking these bones

Here in my room
Dark as my soul
Tears are the weight
Breaking these bones

Time to go and get our kicks
Dropping out and getting in the mix
In the back room, nothing to do
We’re not bored we’re just sick of you

Break down take down
Now it’s on
Sold out blow out
Donkey kong
Well no hell no
What you gonna do?
When they keep coming for you

See the shadows marching on
Yesterday’s dreams are dead and gone
Hear the cheering up above
Down below it’s push and shove

Break down take down
Now it’s on
Sold out blow out
Donkey Kong
Well no hell no
What you gonna do?
When they keep coming for you

Bet some get some
Knock you down
Lowdown showdown
Kiss the ground
Well no, hell no
What you gonna do?
Lights out permanent snooze
They’ll be coming for you

We never have sex anymore
We never roll around on the floor
Like we did
So long ago

You never yell at me anymore
You never want to even the score
Like you did
So long ago

But you’re still with me
So I guess I’m not complaining
And you always leave my dinner on the stove

Baby, please!
If you won’t love me will you hate me?
If you won’t violate me
Will you at least just aggravate me?
Baby, please!
It feels like war under the covers
One way or the other’s what I say

We never have sex anymore
We never make love till we’re sore
Like we did
So long ago

We never have emotional strife
You never even threaten my life
Like you did
So long ago

But you’re still with me
So I guess I’m not complaining
And you let me drive your car when you’re not home

Baby, please!
If you won’t love me will you hate me?
If you won’t violate me
Will you at least just aggravate me?
Baby, please!
It feels like war under the covers
One way or the other’s what I say

We used to do it constantly
We used to have a ball
We used to do it everywhere, now
We never do it at all

Their end of days looks more like tomorrow
Their end of days started with a pill

But they’re not junkies like the news guy said
They’re just kids who’ve gotten over their heads
Big Pharma hooked them in the first place
And it won’t stop

Come on Sean, you’re on drugs
You’re gonna run out of luck
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better

Come on home while you can
I know I don’t understand
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better

When those pills are gone, what’s gonna happen?
When those pills are gone, what drug is next?

We’ve made a nation full of kids on dope
They’re looking down now at the end of their rope
So now who’s gonna come and fix this
Cause it won’t stop

Come on don’t tie it off
Be your undoer of knots
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better

Come on home while you can
I know I don’t understand
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better
Now we’ve made a nation full of kids on dope
They’re looking down now at the end of their rope
So now who’s gonna come and fix this
Cause it won’t stop now

Cause they’re not junkies like the news guy said
They’re just kids who’ve gotten over their heads
Big Pharma hooked them in the first place
And it won’t stop

Come on Sean, you’re on drugs
You’re gonna run out of luck
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better

Come on home while you can
I know I don’t understand
You could still find your way, you know
It will get better

Shit hits the fan when Apache meets the Blade
Caliphate destruction it’s a war that must be waged
Heads are gonna roll when the tire treads stop
These crimes they will be paid for, said Hassan chop

Killing so others will be saved
The real God he favors us today
The suffering is never gonna stop
As long as the breath of Hassan chop

Swords gleam in the desert, the snipers are in line
Corsairs in the crosshairs, they gladly give their lives
Innocents are scattered like Bedouin in the sand
In this fight for God in a god forsaken land

We kill so others will behave
We’ll lead this modern day crusade
‘Deliverance’ is never going away
As long as the will of the USA

Caliphate destruction it’s a war that must be waged
Caliphate destruction it’s a war that must be waged

Possession of the sword well it passes down the line
From dictator to liberator to freedom fighter fine
The game is always changing, the result is still the same
Because our God is righteous, and yours the one to blame

Killing so others will be saved
The real God he favors us today
This suffering, will it ever stop?
As long as the breath of Hassan Chop

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can’t deal, it’s so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven’s so far away

And it feels
And it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you’ve gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Marys
Can’t bring back
What’s taken from me

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven’s so far away

And it stings
Ya it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you’ve gone away

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven’s so far away

And it feels
And it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you’ve gone away

Don’t be thinking we’re crazy
Don’t be thinking we’re crazy
Oh baby let the bad times roll
(Don’t be thinking we’re crazy)
Oh baby let the bad times roll
(Don’t be thinking we’re crazy)
Oh baby let the bad times roll
(Crazy)
Oh baby let the bad times roll
(Crazy)
