Bury the Motive

We lost the war today The headline's the same She'll never make the grade Bullet in her brain Forgotten, buried in an early grave A face she couldn't recognize A stranger's hand would take her life Bury the motive Let no one out alive Unhinged and devoted To the marks within the sights Our fingers point with blame Though we can't explain He tried to save the day Now he's gone away Just a number, left without a name A face he couldn't recognize A stranger's hand would take his life Bury the motive Let no one out alive Unhinged and devoted To the marks within the sights Liars, our leaders Leave the people blind Ready, armed, and focused On exploiting the loss of life Clenched fists Closed eyes Coloring an open canvas Mind blank, mesmerized Bodies fall Hear their cries One more trip around the sun Farewell, so long, goodbye Bury the motive Let no one out alive Unhinged and devoted To the marks within the sights Liars, our leaders We, The People: Blind Ready, armed, and focused On exploiting the loss of life Farewell So long Goodbye
