Let Them Eat Thomas Paine — текст песни (dillinger four)

ItжЉЇ as simple as fear
As disturbing as hate
It`s as fragile as humility
It`s the way that we deal with what we truly feel about everything we see
Rally round a cage, or act your age
Like the old methods we scratched forever in a prison wall
We know what we can`t ignore
But we don`t seem to care at all
Rally round a cage, and don`t make a fuss
Rally round a cage, who am I if I`m not aware that I`m one of us?
It`s a question of trust
Rally round a cage
Cringe at the paper then place the blame on "these days"
As if we don`t know what we`ve seen unless we view it on the big screen
A price paid in full for the conscience that lied
All the billboards in the world can`t cover our eyes
I don`t understand
Don`t tread on me
But we act like we didn`t know
Then kids shoot kids or community defies its role
Then it`s everyone`s fault except for anyone we might know
Tell me are the colors of the flag much prettier to see
When viewed from the requisite comfort of the knees?
We`re the loyal little chorus still singing out "please"
I can`t understand
Don`t tread on me
One little
Two little
Three little pink slips four
Where family values are a value most can`t afford
Rally round a cage to the new hit songs
Rally round a cage called "how could we be wrong"
Rally round a cage
C`mon do the goose step to a state-subsidized sing-along
With one side yanking a line called damage control
While groaning `cause they felt that the national razor went dull
But the other is a place we call home
Where solidarity`s seldom shown
Where taxes paid is like a spade to a dog with a thrift store bone
This isn`t me
It couldn`t be
This isn`t me
It will never be
