lyrics

I can't take it anymore!
This incessant and depressing,
irrepressible, obsession
with mediocrity.
Are we so deaf we cannot hear?
Are we so blind that we all simply
cannot see?

That you get tired of winning
when you've never had to try?
Who gives a shit about peace
when you've got the whole fuckin' pie?

Can you not see
the hypocrisy?

There's no seeming separation
from the self-imposed neuroses
that have set upon my psyche
to slacken my pace.
Still, I can't escape the feeling that
a single, solitary soul
could save this place.

And it's not hard to see why.
We've seen the damage one can do.
The obligation's our's
to see this progress through.

Shall we claw out our eyes, (claw out our eyes)
pull out our tongues, (pull out our tongues)
cut off our hands, (cut off our hands)
and say we never saw it coming? (we couldn’t see)
Nothing could be said? (we couldn’t speak)
Nothing could be done? (nothing could be done)
The war had already been won?

I've kept my mouth shut for too long
and I can no longer be silent.
If I want to see change,
I put the onus on me.
Those who
represent us, resent us
in reality.

Cause it's not hard to succeed
when your goal is to impede.
No lack of progress could
ever sate their insatiable greed.
