Fear the day, that dying day
Paint the night with that slow decay
Throw out the prophecies
Heads raised up still fail to be seen
What's your life really worth
Humanity - a word soon to forget
Compassion - the hands tight around your neck
Overlooked by family time and again
Pick up a gun... pick up a pen... make the incision
Realize, there is more to this than what is showing
With all this help, f*cking problems keep growing
Now what can I say, some failures are hard to ignore
I guess that's what regret is for... me, I'm trying to rise from this shit
Can't watch em' die. How can we live like this? So slithers the snake
Some bleed for the dough. Is this what a life is for
Bang Bang
On the drums when we're out in the streets
When we work in the places you meet
On the walls till' they crumble with dread
On the door with a gun to your head
That empty look in your eyes, we've seen it too many times
And all around the world we grieve our dead
Throw out the prophecies, heads raised up still fail to be seen
What's your life really worth
Real villains greed is spilling blood, then walking free
Well to me it makes no god damn sense
Still on and on, we burn like the sun
So let's fuel the flames of progress with the weak and the dead
Can't be said, can't be right... won't be wrong
Won't cut profits until all but hope is gone, hope is gone
Now what can I say, some failures will be hard to ignore
I guess that's what remorse is for... me, I'm trying to live in this shit
Can't watch em' die. Why do we live like this? So slithers the snake
Some bleed for the dough. This can't be what a life is for
Bang Bang
On the drums when we're out in the streets
When we work in the places you meet
On the walls till' they crumble with dread
On the door with a gun to your head
That empty look in your eyes, we've seen it too many times
And all around the world we grieve our dead
