Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The movie ran through me

The glamour subdue me

The tabloid untie me

I'm empty, please fill me

Mister anchor, assure me

That Baghdad is burning

Your voice, it is so soothing

That cunning mantra of killing

I need you, my witness

To dress this up so bloodless

To numb me and purge me now

Of thoughts of blaming you

Yes, the car is our wheelchair

My witness, your coughing

Oily silence mocks the legless

Ones who travel now in coffins

But on the corner

The jury's sleepless

We found your weakness

And it's right outside our door

[Chorus]

Now testify

Now testify

It's right outside your door

Now testify

Let's testify

It's right outside your door

[Verse 2]

With precision you feed me

My witness, I'm hungry

Your temple, it calms me

So I can carry on

My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones

On a bed of fire, I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home

The wrecking ball is rushing

Witness your blushing

The pipeline is gushing

While here we lie in tombs

While on the corner

The jury's sleepless

We found your weakness

And it's right outside your door

[Chorus]

Now testify

Yeah, testify

It's right outside your door

Now testify

Now testify

It's right outside your door

[Bridge]

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

And the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

And the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

And the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

And the price is set

[Bridge]

Who controls the past now controls the future

Who controls the present now controls the past

Who controls the past now controls the future

Who controls the present now?

[Chorus]

Now testify

Testify

It's right outside your door

Now testify

Testify

It's right outside your door
