Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fitting into your new jackboots
Off to work, your own worst enemy
Paint the streets black and blue
On your knees at the church of bigotry
[Verse 2]
Wear your pain like a new tattoo
They treat you rough, you treat them like royalty
It's like we don't ever think things through
Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
And I get visions of my own kids
[Verse 3]
And it keeps me awake
When truth becomes the enemy
Awake
When no one is surrendering
[Verse 4]
And I can't feel anything
I can't feel
[Verse 5]
Round them up, beat them down
Sly winks been selling out stadiums
What's the point in reaching out
When all the love gets crushed by the medium
And I get visions of my own kids
[Verse 6]
And it keeps me awake
When truth becomes the enemy
Awake
When no one is surrendering
[Verse 7]
And I can't feel anything
I'm my own worst enemy
I wish I could change everything
The truth is I'm just lying here awake
Awake
[Verse 8]
When did we get so bad telling bad from good
When we settle for less than we know we should
When we're living a lie no one understands
When we hang on the words of a hollow man
When the poor fight the battles of the richest men
And the weak have to start watching out again
[Verse 9]
That's the sound of an empire falling
That's the sound of an empire falling
That's the sound of an empire falling
[Verse 10]
When did we get so bad telling bad from good
When we settle for less than we know we should
When did we get so bad telling bad from good
When we settle for less than we know we should
